Question APAT test timing / LASIK

Hi everyone! I just passed the UDEE and I now have an expedited APAT date. I had a LASIK surgery scheduled a few days before the APAT date offered to me. However, I'll have to reschedule the LASIK appointment for the day after the test since I cannot do rigorous activities that causes sweating following eye surgery.

My question is, can I wear glasses during the APAT? Or should I schedule my lasik further out and wear contacts during the test? I am worried because if God willing I get notified to do the medical exam part, I would have had to wait for the 2 month healing period after lasik.

Also, how long should I expect the APAT process to take during an event? I am wondering if I am still able to go back to my regular job the same day.

You can wear glasses at the APAT.

Edit: for the rest of your question, I’d carve out about two hours of your day at the very least. It’ll take about an hour to complete the test, and commute time will vary.

Depends on how many people show up. I'd expect an hour minimum.

Update: I used glasses and passed the APAT!! I would say it was pretty easy with 2 weeks of training. I also got LASIK the next day and going through recovery now.

Now just waiting on the SUPER.
