How long roughly does it take for prk to heal on an average person?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
About one week: For the average person having PRK eye surgery, the cornea will take about a week, give or take 1-2 days, to fully heal. It can sometimes take slightly longer for the healed corneal surface to smooth out and for any slight vision imperfections to clear. Always follow up with your eye surgeon and follow all post operative instructions carefully.
