How long does a PRK procedure take?
Even though the procedure itself is fast, we avoid rushing the patients in and out, and like to take plenty of time with each of them. We tell our patients to plan to be in the laser center for approximately one-hour. However, because the time for the actual laser treatment is typically less than one minute per eye, most patients will be in the office for 45 minutes, and in actual surgery for about 15 minutes. Additionally, our beautiful and comfortable waiting area is an ideal spot to have a friend or family member wait for the patient and assist the patient through post-operative instructions.
