How soon after lasek can i wash my face normally and how long before i really don't have to be concerned about touching my eyes?

THE first 1-3 days: Is crucial to not rub your eyes. Washing your face gently the second day after lasek is ok. One should never, even normally, not rub your eyes. Rubbing the eyes can change the curvature of the cornea.

No rubbing eyes: If you dont rub eyes you can wash in a day.
