Although you should always use goggles for your eyes when using a tanning machine or sunglasses if you're out in the sun, it's best to give your eyes a good rest for a few days or until the surgeon tells you otherwise. Many people don't realize what a delicate procedure Lasik eye surgery or any eye surgery is. Your eyes are everything so look after them and nix the tanning for a few days. If you are out in the sun, put those sunglasses on!
So you have had LASIK to get rid of your glasses, and have fun in the sun, but before you do consider the following. Certainly six months or so after your LASIK, the eyes are healed and sun exposure should not be a problem. At first though, even though the vision is good and your eyes feel fine, they can be more sensitive to sunlight for several reasons.
The first is that the eyes can be dry after LASIK and the sun can make them even dryer. The second is that while there is much less healing than in PRK (where sunlight can cause hazing for up to a year or more), in LASIK there is still some healing and patients can develop light sensitivity, mild corneal hazing, and greater sensitivity to burning the surface of their eyes.
For all these reasons, it is recommended that patients always wear sunglasses with UV (ultraviolet light) protection for at least the first six months after their procedures. Summertime or travel to tropical locations are the greatest risk since that is where the sunlight is the brightest.
Follow your doctor's recommendations but be careful about sunlight after LASIK.
This would be a very severe and extremely rare complication of Lasik eye surgery, but it is possible. After the procedure, there may be some irritation and inflammation, but if it becomes painful or the inflammation becomes severe you would need to see your medical provider immediately to try to avoid this complication.
