When will you see well after PRK?
Often, you’ll notice your vision improve immediately following PRK.
During the first few hours after the operation, you’ll have a temporary contact lens on your eye. Your vision will be a little hazy – a bit like looking through a transparent wet shower curtain. Still, you’ll see much, much better than you did before without glasses and contact lenses.
Over the next two to three days, the vision can be quite hazy and quite blurry. That’s quite normal.
About a week after surgery, your vision will be 80% recovered.
After that, it takes up to about six to eight weeks before the vision finally stabilizes. By then, you’ll have the vision that you desired.
