Answer 1

Recovering from PRK takes longer than recovering from LASIK.

The biggest problem after PRK is dry eyes, especially when using a computer.  You should be using artificial tears every 2  to 3 hours when working on the computer.  This will aid healing and stabilize your vision.  Stable vision after PRK can take up to several months. See your doctor again if the problem persists despite using the drops regularly.
