Doing Yoga right after a Lasik operation during the first week

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

I would like to ask a question about performing Ashtanga Yoga after

having a Lasik operation done on both eyes. I understand that it is

not advisable to do any exercises that would cause a person to sweat

too much, so much so that he/she will cause sweat to go into the eyes

and you willl tend to rub your eyes and cause the cornea flap (which

is created by the Lasik op) to come undone.

 

Do a person really have to rest for a week (like what the eye surgeon

recommends) and not perform Ashtanga Yoga during that time. Could I

take any precautions(like wearing a headband?) or perform some static

poses?

 

Regards.
