Lasik is a very common procedure done nowadays to correct a person's eyesight. In most cases, people who have this procedure done have nearly perfect vision as a result. The procedure itself is pretty quick, but recovery can take a few days. Taking vitamin C after Lasik can provide much help with the recovery process.
Everyone knows how good this vitamin is for you. We all try to get some in our bodies when we do not feel well. It is known to have many benefits aside from just boosting the immune system. It is best when consumed through foods. You can find this vitamin naturally in oranges, grapefruits, tomatoes, broccoli, and potatoes. You could also consume this needed nutrient by taking a supplement.
How does vitamin C help aid the recovery process after Lasik? You should start increasing the amount you consume a week prior to your surgery and continue to take it for up to two weeks after. This should help reduce any hazing that may occur.
After this procedure your eyes should not be exposed to direct sunlight. You have to wear protective glasses when you do go out in the daylight. So for those people who are unable to avoid going out during the day, this vitamin will also help to protect your eyes from ultraviolet radiation. There are other things that you should do when recovering from this procedure as well.
Make sure to wear the sunglasses that they provide no matter how stupid you feel in them. Do not rub your eyes at all for several days after. Your doctor will give you goggles to help prevent you from touching your eyes. Make sure to wear them especially when sleeping. You should follow any post operative instructions that your doctor gives you. All of these things along with the benefits of taking vitamin C can make a difference in the success of your impaired vision
