What Can I Expect After Surgery?
Once you’ve healed, your vision will be good – as good as before surgery when you were wearing contacts or glasses. With Lasik surgery you’ll see clearly the following morning. With PRK surgery, your vision will be blurry for three to four days until the skin layer of your cornea heals.
