  No, you can't smoke weed now which may slow down the heal of the eyes. PRK uses a kind of work material of fluorinated argon (ArF) of gas laser, with the wavelength of 193nm. Its characters are corneal penetrating power and small thermal effect. It have the effect of accumulating the removing corneal tissue. The cutting surface is very slick, a small amount of corneal superficial tissue. In order to change the corneal surface, curvature, abate or enhance refractive power, this surgery will correct myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism. After the surgery, you'd better have a good rest for the eyes. Keeping a good and healthy diet will be such an important thing for the recovery after the prk surgery. And the weed irritating materials will stimulate the eyes badly. Thus, you'd better not smoke.

  No, smoking weed will make your eyes worse. And even can lead to many eye diseases. First, you should know that after the PRK surgery, your eyes will become more and more sensitive. So at this moment, you should pay more attention to your eyes. Definitely, smoking weed can be harmful for your eyes' health. for example, your eyes can be infected easily. In some cases, it will also lead to some eyes diseases, such as pink eyes and watery eyes. And, that will slow down the healing progress. Maybe you can put cucumbers on your eyes and do not smoke weed.
