After PRK laser surgery, how long should I expect before returning to work and/o!
Question:
Answers:
To be safe, I had each eye done separately. Each surgery took place on a Saturday. The first time, I didn't return to work until Wednesday but, honestly, I could've gone back sooner. After the second eye, I went back on Tuesday.
Keep in mind that it isn't as if you won't be able to *see* right away. But you're going to want to rest the first day. On the second and maybe third days, you could, in theory, be productive -- but there might be some pain and a lot of eye-watering (and some throbbing temples). I had to wear protective eyewear, too, which would have looked really silly had returned to work right away. :-)
Best of luck! The experience will be life changing! (If you're interested, I kept a blog of the experience/recovery that I'm more than happy to share. [I just don't want to post the link here.])

I had PRK done on a Friday morning and was back at work on Tuesday. I had great results! Good luck. It is uncomfortable for the first couple of days, but it's amazing to be able to see w/o glasses.
