Can I just keep my eyes closed after PRK? Will this help or hurt the healing process?

Question

After the PRK...Can I just keep my eyes shut, sleeping mask on, other than when I need to add drops? Example....keep my eyes shut for 3 days except for when I add drops.

More rest will not hurt the healing process. Although plenty of rest is great for your healing, you do not have to keep your eyes shut for 3 days. Using your preservative free artificial tears every 1 or 2 hours will speed up your healing. I also recommend 1000mg of Vitamin C daily and UV protection for the first two months.
