What are the advantages of PRK treatment, and when will a surgeon recommend it?
Although the result achieved can be as good as those by either LASIK or LASEK, with PRK the surgeon mechanically removes the cornea’s surface and therefore discomfort and recovery times are significantly higher. Generally, vision will be good enough to drive a car within two to three weeks following surgery, but you may not achieve your best vision until 6 weeks to 3 months following PRK surgery.
