How long after ASA [advanced surface ablation] or modern PRK [photorefractive keratectomy] can I go back to work?

< Back to FAQ

The recovery time for ASA or modern PRK is longer than for LASIK. 

At Clearview, surgery is often done near the weekend to allow for rest and recovery.   During the consultation, our team will go over with you the preoperative and postoperative instructions as well as recommended time off of work for you.

Following the instructions and resting for a few days helps the recovery.
