When will my vision stabilize? When will I have the crispest vision?

After the PRK procedure, the vision will be blurry while the contact lens is in place. When the contact lens is ready to be removed the vision will start to clear. Once the contact lens is removed usually you have good functional vision (good enough to drive a car). The vision then starts to get clear and sharper over time. The sharpest vision usually occurs 1 to 2 weeks after the contact lenses have been removed. However, it can take several months for the vision to reach it's full potential. After the LASIK procedure the vision will be blurry for the rest of the day. By the evening you will notice the vision starting to improve. The vision the following day usually is very good (sometimes good enough to drive a car). On average, vision takes a week to reach full potential and the majority of patients have vision good enough to drive within the week of the LASIK procedure. You will be acutely aware of your changing vision during the healing process and your vision may change and fluctuate after either procedure for up to 6 months.
