Question

Can I have a haircut after PRK surgery? if No when will it be okay to have one?

Emil William Chynn, MD, FACS, MBA · Answer

you will be in pain for a few days after PRK, so probably will need to wait a week until you get a haircut

	if you don't have pain, then you can open your eyes and get your haircut

	i stopped doing PRKs several years ago, because they tend to be painful and can also scar

	this is why i switched to Advanced Surface Ablations, which are LASEK or epiLASEK, which retain the superior safety of PRK compared to LASIK, and have a quick painless recovery like LASIK, so the best of both worlds

	please search SafeSight or you can search LASEK on YouTube and find some further explanation

	hope this helps
