How long does it take until you can drive/read/look at a computer screen, etc. (Even if not fully recovered)
How long does it take until you can drive/read/look at a computer screen, etc. (Even if not fully recovered)
And how long for complete recovery?
Thanks
i had lasik done.. afterwards they told me to go home and sleep for 3 hours then take off my eyepatches.. i did and could see perfectly.. my eyes were a little sensitive to bright light for a few days less than 24 hours after getting the surgery done i went back and had 20/20 vision.. best thing i EVER did very god investment.. sorry dont know about prk…
I had LASIK done in August last year – BEST thing I’ve ever done! I wore glasses for about 8 years prior and could never find contacts that worked for me. It was a gift from my hubby for my 30th birthday (and the best one I’ve ever gotten!)
After the procedure I was told to go home and sleep for about 4 hours – this is when the “flap” reseals. They gave me Valium before the procedure and a sleeping pill for afterward (I had my procedure early in the morning). I went back for a follow-up exam later that same day and I was already 20/20. There was some discomfort (like a sandy feeling) and watery eyes that first day, but that was gone by the next day. Bright lights, especially the fluorescent lighting in my office bugged me for a while, but that too went away. Also had some “halos” at night, but not anymore.
I had my surgery on a Friday and went to a football game the next night. I was back to work the following Monday.
I am now 20/15 at least and as happy as can be with my decision to get LASIK. I don’t miss my glasses one bit!
