When Can I Read Books After PRK Surgery?

Jay Bansal, MD · Answer

PRK is a type of surgery similar to LASIK except there is no flap created in the cornea,  This results in a longer recovery time.  Most PRK patients will have recovered by 2 weeks following the surgery but occasionally it does take 4 weeks or longer for vision to settle down and the cornea to stabilize.

	Neither LASIK nor PRK can offer guaranteed results so depending on the importance of the exams and the amount of time required to study for them, you might want to consider postponing surgery until after you are finished.
