Do you mean sunglasses? Your eyes will likely be light sensitive post lasik, wearing sunglasses is protective and helpful during the healing period. I encourage all my patients (regardless of their surgical status) to use sunglasses when outside.
Depends on the original Rx. Also, on your age and need reading glasses or no glasses.
