Hi Doctor , I had PRK surgery 4 years ago to correct my sight . Now , I see my right eye has refractive error - 0.75 no abnormalities found in eye examination. Does vision regression occur even after a PRK . I’m 30 y male.

Hello, Yes that is a possibility.. However your number is very minimal, you will be fine without specs also. After PRK always keep using lubricating drops. Refresh tears or any brand available in the pharmacies.
Next Steps
Post PRK eyes are prone for dryness , and that can also induce a slight increase in the eye power.
