I had LASIK and no problems diving afterwards though I waited something like six months

I had the surgery about 14 years ago. I waited about a month to dive. I do everything I did before now with no problems. Only difference is I can see much better now.
At 6 weeks you should be fine, especially if the doc says so. Your biggest risk is physical impact to the eye.

If it's healed well with no issues then don't worry about it. I had a couple months of hell after mine, but after we got everything under control no issues diving.

I had laser cataract surgery on both eyes. After 5 weeks, my ophthalmologist cleared me for unrestricted diving. Have had no issue with either eye at 115 foot depth.

had lasik done 4 years afgo no problems and just had surgery back in october to remove the gel in my eye because of bleeding 6 weeks later in the pool doing splash sessions and diving in Caribbean in January with no problems ,my surgeon told me that the eye was one of the fastest healing organs in the body

I had it 2 weeks prior to taking OW course in 2005. Advice from the doctor(s) was keep eyes closed in water. I did--no problems at all. Instructor said it was OK to do all the mask skills, etc. with eyes closed. I started diving regularly 2 months later in Florida and didn't even think about it.

I had it done in 1999 and lots of dies since-no problems

It's been 12 years, and my eyes are finally getting a bit worse after no change for years. Then again I'm pushing 63. Doesn't affect diving at all (yet?).
