Is It Safe to Fly After PRK Surgery?

Question

I will be getting PRK surgery in a few days and then I will be flying home from work for Christmas break. Can I fly home 4 days after getting PRK surgery?

Martin L. Fox, MD · Answer

Prk surgery requires an extended healing period. Epithelial healing can require upwards of five days during which bandage contact lens is worn. The eye is a risk for infection during this period. I would advise you to postpone surgery until after the holidays.
