I had asked previously about Lasik and hiking and very much appreciated the responses. I get out hiking and/or trail work several times a week and was interested in the down time.
The process is to keep contacts out prior to the screening test to see if you are a candidate. For me that meant 5 days – three of those I was out hiking. It had been 10 years since I hiked with glasses and the refresher of fogging, freezing, not seeing with them off, sliding down the nose, etc. was the worst part in my opinion. The screening test was Wednesday, the surgery Friday, my first hike was Monday.
I followed a packed out trail up and went slow enough to prevent sweat getting into the eyes. I wore a pair of wrap around type sunglasses included with the procedure and enjoyed the snow squall, the sparkle of the sun on the snow, and being back in the forest. I found an unbroken route and headed back down. I am more than pleased.
