Recovery varies according to the refractive surgery technique chosen. With LASIK or FemtoLASIK, the majority of patients regain clear vision the very next day. With PRK, slight discomfort may persist for a few days, with a gradual return to normal within a week.
- LASIK/FemtoLASIK: 24 to 48 hours before resuming activities
- PRK: 5 to 7 days before noticing stable results
