PRK: The Benefits and Recovery Process

PRK offers numerous benefits for individuals looking to correct their vision without relying on glasses or contacts. One of the primary advantages is that it can be a more suitable option for people with irregular corneas or those who participate in high-impact sports where the risk of eye injury is higher. Since PRK does not necessitate cutting a flap in the cornea, there is less risk of complications like flap-related issues. Additionally, PRK provides long-lasting results, with many patients experiencing clear vision for decades after the procedure.

Recovery from PRK can take longer than other refractive surgeries, but most patients notice significant improvement in their vision within 3-5 days. The outer layer of the cornea heals on its own over a few weeks, and during this time, patients may feel some discomfort, such as light sensitivity and mild blurred vision. However, these symptoms fade as the cornea heals. With careful post-surgery care and follow-up visits with your eye surgeon, PRK can provide a transformational solution for those seeking freedom from glasses or contacts.
