What is your advice on swimming after PRK?

Question

What is the advice on swimming, paddling or having sea/river water splashing on the eyes after prk? I had my surgery 10 days ago. Can I go swimming yet? I'll protect my eyes with goggles.

Michael K. Tracy, MD · Answer

You should not go swimming until your epithelium (the surface of the eye) is healed.  Two weeks is usually sufficient but the only way to be certain if it is safe to swim is to have your surgeon check your eyes.
