A member asked:
Can you use mineral oil eye drops after prk?.. im almost 50 days post op and artificial tears make my vision clear and sharp but for only about 10 seconds.. also any ideas of any other things i could use that could make me see better during healing?

You must direct this important question to the ophthalmologist who performed your PRK and saw you post operatively and noted the status of your eye. Do not use any drops in your eyes that aren't ok'd by him/her.

For the best answer you should ask the doctor who performed your surgery. They will know exactly the details of your procedure and the best way of postop recovery.
