How long patients usually stay
Published guidance, by procedure within this category. The flying wait is counted from the operation, not from discharge, so it already contains the days in hospital. Days before the operation are not included.
Cataract surgery
- Usually home the same day (NHS (nhs.uk))
- Guidance says wait 1 week after the operation before flying (guidance for this class of surgery) (UK Civil Aviation Authority)
Laser eye surgery (LASIK and similar)
- The first check-up is 1 to 2 days after surgery, so plan to be near the clinic for it. (“You should see your doctor within the first 24 to 48 hours after surgery”, US Food and Drug Administration)
These figures come from general published guidance, such as the NHS and the UK Civil Aviation Authority, about typical patients. They are not advice for you. How long you stay in hospital and when you can fly home depend on your own recovery, and your treating hospital confirms both.
