Recovery & Aftercare

  • Keep the bandage contact lens in place until removed by the doctor.
  • Use prescribed drops religiously to manage initial discomfort and aid healing.
  • Expect and manage initial blurry vision and light sensitivity.
  • Strictly avoid direct sunlight and wear UV protection.
  • Attend frequent early follow-up appointments.

PRK involves a longer initial healing period compared to LASIK, typically taking a few weeks for vision to fully stabilize, but it is extremely safe.
