LASIK is not recommended during pregnancy due to hormonal changes affecting vision. These fluctuations can lead to temporary refractive changes, making it difficult to accurately assess your vision. Additionally, the safety of LASIK during pregnancy hasn’t been extensively studied, and potential risks to the fetus remain uncertain.
It’s advisable to wait until after pregnancy and breastfeeding to undergo LASIK surgery. In the meantime, consult with an ophthalmologist for temporary vision correction options like glasses or contact lenses that can accommodate your changing vision during pregnancy. Always prioritize the health and safety of both you and your baby.
