Getting lasik with a higher risk of conjunctivitis

crosspost from /lasik. ty for the sub invite.

Hi, I was considering lasik or the small incision/SMILE method of laser eye correction, but this weekend, when I got bacterial pink eye from my child, had me thinking twice about it.

My daughter is <2 years old and brings home every illness she gets from daycare. There hasn't been a single day where I've been 100% over a cold and I am just getting infections much more easily during this period - not sure if that has anything to do with breastfeeding. When get sick, it is also just worse than before giving birth.

Does this preclude getting lasik or the SMILE procedure? I would imagine that an infection getting under the flap or into the incision would be a rather nasty complication.

ty in advance.
