What are the main advantages of iLASIK over other procedures, and can I still play contact sports after the operation?

Dry eye is a common and often chronic condition nowadays regardless whether one has had any laser surgery done. This is especially so when most of our days revolve around working at a computer or other electronic devices, where we tend to blink less fully and less frequently. Blinking actually helps in lubricating the surface of the eye. A healthy tear film consists of the lipid, aqueous and mucous layers on the corneal surface.

When the eyes have fully recovered from LASIK, post LASIK patients might still consider wearing eye protection like eyeshades. Indeed, this will secure the eyes especially if engaging in activities where there is a high chance of the eyes getting poked. Having said that, that's probably a good idea for people who have not been operated on as well. Because getting poked in the eye is very painful for anybody! So in general, I would say there are no specific additional precautions, as compared to people who have not had eye surgery.
