The Do’s and Don’ts Of Wearing Make Up Before & After Laser Eye Surgery

Can I have a glass of wine to celebrate my Laser Eye Surgery?
Recovering from any surgery is an unpleasant experience at the best of times, and an absolute nightmare at the worst.

The thing is, though, unlike glasses and contacts, you expect Laser Eye Surgery to be a one-time jobby. And it is — the vast majority of people who have it never need to return to the clinic again other than for their scheduled aftercare appointments.
