How long will I use eye drops following laser vision correction?
If you choose PRK, you will be required to use steroid eye drops for several weeks to months following the surgical procedure. However, should you choose LASIK, most patients are on antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drops for five to seven days following the procedure. Dr. Duffey does suggest that most patients use artificial teardrops for several weeks following the procedure, especially in the winter months when humidity is lower and dry eye symptoms occur more frequently.
