How long will PRK results last?Dr. Matthew Russell explains how long PRK results lastPRK results tend to last a very long time. Once the vision has stabilised at two to three months after surgery, it is a likely in most cases that their vision will remain stable.1https://www.webmd.com/connect-to-care/lasik/how-long-does-prk-lastThere can be very small changes in vision as the eye changes with age and on average that’s about half a diopter per decade after the age of 50.2Aoa.org. 2021. Adult Vision: 41 to 60 Years of Age. https://www.aoa.org/healthy-eyes/eye-health-for-life/adult-vision-41-to-60-years-of-age?sso=y> [Accessed 10 June 2021].There is a small portion of people who experience changes in the refraction in the first 3 to 12 months after surgery and drift off the target that we were aiming for. In those cases, about 2 to 3% of people with low refractive errors, will need some additional laser to fine-tune the result and get people where they want to be, which is 20/20 vision without glasses.3CRSTEurope. 2021.
