I Can't Get Lasik...What About PRK?

I Can't Get Lasik...What About PRK?

I've been thinking a lot lately about getting Lasik eye surgery.

So, yesterday I went to the doctor for a consult.

Yeah, cancel the Lasik.

Not because I decided against it.

It's because my corneas are too thin.

Yep.  They did some measuring and testing and determined that my corneas are too thin for the procedure.

However, I was told that I could have a different, but similar, procedure.

That is called PRK.

Photorefractive keratectomy.

My corneas are okay for PRK. 

I'm told the recovery time is a little longer...and there's a little more discomfort involved.  And that it takes a little longer for the results (better vision) to occur.

At least that's what I've heard so far.

Now I want to hear from you.

Tell me all about it.

Who's had it?

Who knows someone who has had it?

Did it work?

Any trouble?
