I did PRK about 10 years ago. Recovery was interesting. They tell you vision is gonna be rough for a few days, but right after surgery vision is perfect and you think you got lucky. Nope. I basically laid in bed for about 24 to 36 hours straight, lights off, curtains closed. I remember waking, looking at the ceiling fan and how blurry it was, then falling back asleep. By day 2 I think it was I ventured out to watch TV and even at the lowest brightness it was blinding. I had to wear sunglasses. I started work day 4 or 5 and had to increase the size of everything. I specifically remember that - and = looked identical, which makes code very interesting to read. I guess by day 7 to 10 my vision was perfect, or at least, better than it was before. Any improvement past that would have been incremental. Sorry I don't have more concrete dates, I actually kept a detailed journal but lost it along the way. I feel like my night vision took a small hit, but that could just be age. My eyes are light sensitive, but they always have been. But we're talking like, full Florida sun on white pavement. Looking at a screen doesn't make my eyes feel blinded. Lemme know if you have any questions I can help with. Side note: My wife got LASIK a few years back. Her recovery time was way less, and could see much better with a day or two. Her only problem was dry eyes that seemed to last a few months, but that went away too. If I had to do it again, I'm not sure what I'd pick. After seeing how quick and painless LASIK is, I may go that route. I'm of the opinion that any force strong enough to 'rip open your flap' is going to cause eye injury one way or another.
