Can pregnancy change my lasik eye surgery results?

Yes, pregnancy can temporarily change the results of LASIK eye surgery. This is because the hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy can cause the cornea, the clear, front part of the eye, to swell and change shape. This can lead to changes in vision, such as nearsightedness or astigmatism.

In most cases, these changes are temporary and will resolve after pregnancy. However, in some cases, the changes may be permanent. If you are considering LASIK eye surgery, it is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits with your doctor. You should also let your doctor know if you are planning to become pregnant in the future.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind if you are pregnant and have had LASIK eye surgery:

* You may need to wear glasses or contact lenses to correct your vision during pregnancy.

* You should avoid activities that could put your eyes at risk, such as contact sports or swimming in chlorinated pools.

* You should see your eye doctor regularly to monitor your vision.
