How to Prepare for PRK Eye Surgery?

Preparing for PRK eye surgery is an important part of ensuring a successful procedure and minimizing any risks.

First, it’s important to visit your ophthalmologist for an eye exam to ensure that you are a good candidate for the procedure. Prior to this exam, you should stop wearing rigid contact lenses for at least one week to ensure your eyes can be properly evaluated before surgery. If you wear soft contact lenses, stop them at least three days before this appointment.

Once your surgery is scheduled, make sure to ask someone to drive you home on the day of the procedure since your vision will be blurry immediately after the surgery.

Lastly, be sure to follow your doctor’s instructions on post-operative care, such as using eye drops and avoiding activities that could cause further harm to your eyes.
