Do I need to take time off from work after I have PRK or LASIK?

Patients are advised to take at least 3 to 4 days off of work for PRK and 1-2 days for LASIK and avoid strenuous activities after the procedure. This period of time is critical to the healing and stability of the eye. Time off work will vary on the individual and occupation. Individual assessment is required to determine the time needed for recovery.
