Expect your vision to be blurry on the day of surgery as your body recovers. The time course for visual recovery depends on the type of surgery performed. LASIK and routine cataract surgery tend to have the quickest visual recovery with clear vision expected 1-2 days after surgery. Vision after PRK surgery improves significantly after 5-7 days, but usually fluctuates day by day for 1-3 months after surgery. Complex cataract surgery, corneal transplants, and other complex eye surgeries often require more time for visual recovery. DMEK and DSAEK patients can expect their vision to sharpen by 1-3 months, and full-thickness corneal transplant (PK) patients may require up to a year for full recovery of vision. After cataract surgery, a new glasses prescription can be given once the vision is stable, which is generally 2-4 weeks after surgery.
