No, both eyes do not always recover equally quickly after laser eye surgery. Factors such as the treatment method, the vision impairment, and natural healing play a role:

- With LASIK and SMILE, most patients experience sharp vision in both eyes within 24 to 48 hours.
- With PRK, recovery takes longer and there may be a difference between the eyes. Vision improves gradually over several weeks to months.

It is normal for one eye to temporarily recover faster than the other. If you still notice a big difference after several weeks, consult your eye doctor at Focus Eye Clinic for a checkup.
