[QUOTE="quad, post: 16334061, member: 17952"] I was not a candidate for Lasik due to the thickness of my corneas so they went with PRK. I had this done in 1999 over in Windsor, Canada. PRK is much more painful and you need a good 1-2 weeks to recover. So I had to sleep with special eye patches. It really was painful right after surgery and my eyes watered and was extremely sensitive to light. I had to wear those huge sunglasses - even indoors. But eventually it healed and to this day I have good far vision. I do see star bursts around night lights but that doesn't really bother me. My night vision is pretty good. I have started using Costco readers for small print up close this year. But I can still get by without them. [b]PRK vs LASIK[/b] - What are the differences? In [b]LASIK[/b], an eye surgeon makes an incision (with either a laser or a blade) in the cornea to create a flap of tissue. ... In [b]PRK[/b], the eye surgeon does not create a flap of corneal tissue. Instead, the outer layer of the cornea is removed to expose an area for a laser to reshape. [/QUOTE]
