“How many days of rest is okay after LASIK surgery?”

Under most circumstances, most LASIK patients can see perfectly within 24 hours of their procedure, while some may need to rest for two to five days. Your ophthalmologist/refractive surgeon will provide you with an appropriate time frame as to what you should and should not do after the surgery as well as how long it will be to return to work or a normal post-op schedule. This will obviously depend upon your outcome which should be excellent. And they will also advise you as to when you need to return for your follow-up visits. Please discuss any concerns that you have with your surgeon because they know your eyes and your health history. Good luck and best wishes.

I recommend a few days

You should ask your doctor but generally absolute rest rarely is necessary for more than one or two days.
