You may experience blurry vision or dryness for 24–48 hours. Most return to work within 2–3 days.
We’re out-of-network but provide superbills for possible reimbursement. Some labs may be partially covered.

We evaluate tear function before surgery. Mild dry eye may be treated before proceeding.
PRK is a surface treatment option for those with thinner corneas. Recovery is longer than LASIK.
