How long does it take for vision to clear after prk surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
1-2 weeks: Prk surgery is accompanied by swelling of the front of the eye (cornea) which usually lasts one week and the vision comes in rapidly in the next week (in an uncomplicated case). If yours is taking longer, then check in with the surgeon who did the prk for treatment.
