In most cases, vision recovery after myopia correction surgery takes about 1–2 weeks; however, full recovery typically requires 1–3 months. During this period, it is essential to practice proper eye care—avoiding intensive visual tasks and allowing your eyes ample rest. Visual stabilization generally takes approximately six months. After undergoing myopia correction surgery, diligent postoperative eye care is crucial to maximize visual recovery.
