Will my vision get worse after the PRK contact bandage is removed? Should I drive myself to my appointment?

Question

I had PRK in both eyes. I have to drive over an hour to get it removed. I am worried about going alone because I have read that you vision decreases afterwards.

Joseph W. King, MD · Answer

It is best to have a driver for the day that the contact lenses are removed for many patients do see a temporary decrease in vision.

Jay Bansal, MD · Answer

I would recommend bringing a driver to your appointment. Typically vision should be clear enough to drive 1 week after PRK, but that is not the case for everyone. Vision may decrease slightly after the contact lenses are removed.
