Most LASIK patients achieve unaided vision between 20/20 and 20/40. This is
functional vision for most people, permitting many ordinary activities such as sports, watching
television and driving. Vision improvement is rapid with much of the improvement already
apparent on the first day after the procedure. While slight fluctuations in vision can occur in
the first week, most patients return to regular activities the next day.
