    This one is for the ladies or for any guys out there who like a bit of eye make up too, lol. I've been told that I can wear eye make up a week after surgery but I'm looking for some tips. I know I can't rub my eyes for three months so obviously, I can't wear anything too heavy. I'm just wondering how everyone settled in to wearing make up and how soon before you could go the whole hog on the eyes?

    I didn't wear any make up around the eye area for a week. At my one week consult, they said my eyes had healed very well and I could wear it if I really must. I only wore one layer of mascara for about a week and then went back to normal. I wear 3 coats mascara, eyeliner and eyeshadow.

    I think it depends on the person as I had a very quick recovery.

    Thanks for the reply. So far I have only been wearing mascara. I'm afraid of removing heavier eye make up! :( I'm sure I will get more confident tho. :)

    speaking of my experiences, I was wearing make up week after the lasik, till my 1 month post op check up, at the 1 month check up, I was told my eye ducts were blocked. So i came off make up till now.

    on my last check up which is 7 weeks check up, they are improved a bit. however, its could be just me, I know other girls had eye make up on week after lasik and had experienced no problems.
