PRK recovery is slower, but some people choose it for a reason. 🌊
The first couple days are usually the hardest. Light sensitivity, blurry vision, and extra downtime are all part of the normal healing process.
But as the surface heals, vision gradually sharpens week by week until patients reach the same clear outcome LASIK is known for, without creating a corneal flap.
That’s why PRK is often recommended for:
• Surfers and swimmers
• Military and first responders
• Contact sports and active lifestyles
• Patients with thinner corneas
• Anyone wanting a flap-free option
Recovery takes more patience, but for the right candidate, the long-term benefits can absolutely be worth it.
The best procedure is the one built around your eyes, your lifestyle, and your goals.
Schedule a consultation with Clearview Eye and Laser Medical Center to find out which vision correction option fits you best.
