LASIK Recovery: Is Trampolining Allowed After Surgery?

No, trampolining is not recommended within the first week—or even the first few weeks—after LASIK surgery.

LASIK creates a thin corneal flap that must heal and adhere securely. Strenuous activities, sudden head movements, or any impact to the eye or head can risk dislodging the flap, causing complications such as flap displacement, wrinkles, or infection.

Typical activity restrictions after LASIK:

• First 24–48 hours: Avoid rubbing eyes, swimming, hot tubs, and strenuous exercise.
• First 1–2 weeks: Avoid contact sports, heavy lifting, and activities with risk of eye trauma (including trampolining).
• 2–4 weeks: Most surgeons advise waiting at least two to four weeks before resuming high-impact activities like trampolining, trampoline parks, or contact sports.

Always follow your surgeon's specific postoperative instructions. Recovery timelines can vary based on individual healing and the surgical technique used. If you have any doubts about a particular activity, contact your eye care provider before participating.
