Unknown: This is early in the healing process and everyone is different. You need to keep all of your post op appointments and if neccessary see the surgeon more frequently to insure that all is going as expected from the surgeon.

Not to worry!: Prk, unlike lasik has a much more slow return of vision, but ultimately the visual outcome should be the same. Even though the surface layer that is removed in prk (epithelium) has grown back at the 2 week mark, it can take weeks or months to "normalize". At the 3 month mark, if the vision is still not satisfactory, the decision to "fine tune", or enhance the vision will be made.
