Can both eyes be treated at the same time?
Your eyesight is precious and, for these elective procedures, we want to make sure that normal wound healing occurs before treating the second eye. After PRK it usually takes at least three weeks to achieve clear vision, and it may be difficult to drive and work if both eyes are treated on the same day. For this reason, the other eye usually can have surgery within one month after the first PRK procedure. LASIK patients heal faster and can usually see well with no pain after one day. LASIK patients can have both eyes treated on the same day.
