It is important to allow your eyes sufficient time to heal while recovering from a LASIK surgery. If you engage in light sports, you may resume them after about 5 days. For more active sports (such as swimming, diving, bungee jumping, football, etc), you may resume them after about 1 month. If you regularly engage in rugged and contact sports (such as boxing, wrestling, rugby, etc), it is not very advisable to engage them after a LASIK surgery due to the cut flap created during the procedure.
On the other hand, if you have not undergone the procedure, you may want to consider the no-cut, no-flap Advanced Surface Ablation (ASA) procedures including TransPRK which does not involve the cutting of a corneal flap, allowing you to participate in rugged and active sports without any worry of corneal flap complications.
