Does PRK hurt?
We are happy to offer all of our patients virtually painless vision correction procedures. The Aurora LASIK team will provide you with everything you need to be comfortable throughout your procedure and recovery.
Before your procedure we will administer some anesthetic drops that will fully numb the eye before surgery begins so your procedure should be painless. PRK can result in some discomfort so it’s important to follow post-surgery guidelines during the recovery process.
Is PRK safe?
PRK is a safe and gentle procedure, however as with everything in life, nothing is risk free. When making the decision to have PRK make sure you always do your research and choose a surgeon who is experienced.
When will my vision be fixed and when will I be able to go back to work?
Compared to the 24 hour LASIK recovery time, PRK has a slightly longer recovery time – about 48 to 72 hours. You should be able to return to normal day-to-day activities within a couple of days.
Will I need reading glasses?
Good news! PRK is designed to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Eliminating the need for glasses and contacts.
