Had PRK surgery 5 months ago and my right eye is fine but my left eye stays blurry unless I use lubricant drops - vision gets clear for a bit then goes back to being fuzzy. My left eye is at 69 before drops. Why does it keep doing this and is it normal after PRK?

It's normal to experience some degree of blurred vision after PRK surgery, especially if the vision is fluctuating and improving with lubricant drops. However, five months post-surgery, it's important to investigate why this persists and discuss it with your eye doctor. While individual healing rates can vary, persistent blurriness and dependence on drops warrant further evaluation.

It's been 10 months since my PRK surgery but I still need to use lubricant drops. Is it okay to stop using them now or should I keep going for a few more months? How long do people usually need these drops after PRK?

After PRK surgery, it’s common to continue using lubricating drops for several months until the eye fully stabilizes. Most people stop using them after 6 months, but check with your doctor for personalized advice.
