Vision Recovery Statistics
Vision improvement is usually noticed within
24 hours to 48 hours but in a small percentage of patients may take
two weeks or longer.
National Results Vision at 1 Year
20/25 or better = 86%
20/40 or better = 99%
Enhancements and/oe Reoperations
Because each eye responds a little differently to the RK procedure,
enhancements are an integral part of the post-op care and are not
an indicator of
any problem with the surgery.RK enhancements are even easier than
the RK procedure itself. However in most cases, enhancements are
not advised
until the eye is stable. This frequently takes up to 3 months.
