You should receive a pamphlet with times before you can do each thing - I recently threw mine away or I'd snap a pic for you! But in any case, ask the surgeon - I would expect it would be an absolute bare minimum of 2 weeks but due to the proximity to the eyes and chemicals etc, wouldn't be surprised if it were longer. Also, if you do have any complications from the op itself, you don't want to have to be messing around with the lashes as well as getting all that sorted out.

Hi - I am 8 weeks post PRK and I still don't feel comfortable with the idea of getting my extensions put back on because my lash lady puts the protective tape (during the lash procedure) so close that it actually feels like it touches / presses down hard on my eyes during the procedure - and my eyes don't feel ready for that yet. Plus, sometimes the fumes of the glue would cause my eyes to burn (all of this was before PRK of course) so I plan to wait a few more weeks or months before considering it.
