Recovery from PRK surgery is a little longer. For the first few days while the corneal epithelium regenerates, PRK patients usually report hazy vision, some soreness, and light sensitivity. This typically clears up after the first few days, and most PRK patients are able to drive and return to work around Day 4 or 5.
A systematic review that compared PRK and LASIK concluded that LASIK has shorter recovery time and less pain. The two techniques after a period of one year have similar results. When LASEK is compared to LASIK, LASIK has better outcomes with corneal haze while LASEK has a low rate of flap complications than LASIK.
