The PRK Procedure: What to Expect

During the PRK procedure, the outer layer of the cornea is gently removed to expose the area that will be reshaped by the laser. The laser then precisely reshapes the corneal tissue to correct vision. The process typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes per eye, and patients can expect a short recovery period. While initial recovery may take a few days, full visual stabilization can take several weeks. Patients often experience a significant improvement in vision within the first few days post-surgery.
