A member asked:
When can i exercise after having prk? my doctor told me i'd need about a week of downtime after prk. does that include exercise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: After prk there is usually about 3-7 days of discomfort and light sensitivity. Most prefer to relax indoors at this time. There is no effect of gym activities on the results or healing from a prk however so if you must do it after the surgery, go for it.
