As long as they make you feel more comfortable.
Sunglasses should be worn all the time. Protecting your eyes from UV is very important.
Sunglasses are a good feature whether or not you have had LASIK. You only "need" to wear them for a week following the procedure, but should wear them whenever you are out in bright sun.
Ask your lasik surgeon. Probably a couple of weeks.

At least six months in sunny environments to prevent corneal haze. SO
Sunglasses after eye surgery like lasik are for protection and comfort outdoors. We recommend them for at least the first week after surgery. In fact, sunglasses in bright sunlight, especially on the beach, water or snow are always recommended to protect your eyes against UV radiation. It is always best to ask your lasik surgeon for their specific recommendations for you after surgery.

It depends on the amount of surgical correction performed and the technique the surgeon used. Please contact your surgeon.
Optional, your choice.
