LASIK is an outpatient procedure that requires only an anesthetic eye drop to successfully perform the procedure. The visual results of LASIK are usually very rapid and within hours of the surgery, most patients have functional vision. By the next day, most individuals are seeing well enough to drive and go back to work; however, individual results depend on a number of factors including age, amount of correction, and individual healing characteristics.

There are those who swim from the resort to the island…but you need to be a VERY competent swimmer. Additionally, by swimming, you aren’t able to bring a bag/tote along for your necessities (tanning lotion, snacks, sunglasses, etc.). The island does NOT have a beach, and it is more for recreation and socializing. If you are going to COR, do NOT miss the opportunity to meet some of the wonderful, engaging folks on the island!
