Vision is greatly improved but typically blurry immediately after the procedure (20/80-20/200). It generally starts to improve once the surface layer of the cornea (epithelium) has grown back, which in most cases takes 3 to 4 days (approximately 20/40). Vision typically starts to get good within 7-10, days but can continue to be blurry for a number of weeks. For most patients, vision stabilizes within 3 months (some may take 6 months or longer). The healing process varies for each patient, and it is difficult to predict precisely when you will achieve your best visual acuity. However, most patients who have both eyes treated at the same time report that they are able to drive a car safely and resume their normal activities between 3-5 days following PRK.
