It's true that you can go back work or study one week after the lasik operation and two weeks after PRK. However, if you want to have a better effect on your eyes, you'd better take fully care of them. For example, don't go swimming within 6 months, reduce the time spending in watching TV and monitor, try not to put make-up on your eyes if you are a girl.... One thing is that the more you pay attention, the better your eyes will be recovered.
My vision was very poor before the operation (more than 800 for each of eye). I did exactly what the surgeon told me to do. She is one of the best surgeons in Tongren Hospital.
