I'm going to get refractive surgery. Anybody have any information about healing time and climbing. I plan to got to Cascades in May. Surgery before or after?

The recovery period after refractive surgery (on average, depending if the surgery is intra or extra ocular), lasts two weeks.
Past which, if the findings at follow-up are good, one can also go skiing (then, no problem to climb).
It is essential to protect your eyes with specific sunglasses with a total protection against UV, for several months.
That's all.
All the best.
