A member asked:

Could it be healthy to cry 2 weeks after prk eye surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

PRK Surgery: There should be no problems with crying after any kind of refractive surgery. We all constantly produce tears which keep the surface of our eyes lubricated. There won't be any issues if you produce extra tears when you cry.
