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.
Postoperative recovery depends on the size and difficulty of the hernia repair. Pain is controlled by pain medications prescribed to you on discharge from the hospital. You will be able to walk after the surgery, though you will usually need about three weeks after surgery before restarting heavy physical activity. Patients usually take 1-2 weeks off from work after a laparoscopic ventral/incisional hernia repair.
