How long it takes to recover vision after corneal laceration repair depends on the severity of the injury. If the injury is mild, vision typically improves gradually over approximately three months. For patients who undergo corneal transplantation, recovery may take six months to one year. Additionally, maintain good ocular hygiene—avoid rubbing your eyes with your hands—and schedule regular follow-up visits at the hospital.
