I had PRK done almost two weeks ago at the Stanford Eye Laser Center in Palo Alto, CA. The surgery was pretty much painless, and although they told me to expect "moderate to severe" pain for the next few days, it wasn't really that bad at all, especially if you stay out of the light.
Anyway, my eyes were 20/400 and -4.75 diopters in both eyes before the surgery. Immediately after the surgery I could see at least 20/40 (maybe a little worse), but it got worse throughout the next couple days. After that it continued to improve to where I am now...I'm guessing my right eye is around 20/30 or so and my left eye seems to be quite a bit worse than that still.
I'm wondering, how long has it taken for other people's eyes to stabilize? And was one eye worse than the other for a while? I know they heal at different speeds, just wondering how long it might take.
Oh, FYI the new Application for Commission has a section about eye surgery where they specifically ask you if you have had any history of eye surgery. If you mark "yes," you have to fill out additional info... They just updated this within the past month or so, my recruiter just sent me the new form.
