I am 19 years old and got PRK eye surgery 1 week ago. Am I allowed to cry and laugh? Is it going to damage my eyes?

Question

My prescription was-10 each eye.

Mazin Yaldo, MD · Answer

Crying and laughing post-PRK (and
LASIK) surgery is not harmful at all, so go ahead without concern.

Martin L. Fox, MD · Answer

Hopefully you are laughing about your new vision. No damage will result from either emotion. Go about your life after laser vision correction without worry.
