I had PRK eye surgery done last year. It’s very similar to LASIK, but instead of cutting a flap in the epithelium, they scrape a portion of it away, allowing it to regrow like normal without having “flap problems” in the future. This is a video of one of the eyes. Oh, and it’s upside down, so as to avoid confusion. Enjoy.

I? had both eyes done a few years back, hands down the most painful procedure I have ever had! My vision was horrible and has been perfect ever since. No regrets but I don’t recommend doing both eyes at same time.

I had PRK done two weeks ago and this pretty much sums it up! Quick and easy. Recovery? wasn’t the greatest but zero regrets.

This was very painful. I had to be completely in the dark for 3 days. I could not see well for 3 months. Now i see great and am? glad i had it done. Do 1 eye at a time if possible.

would you reccomend? this over lasik?
danley456 says:
January 27, 2012 at 3:13 pm (UTC 8)
@khalidbaoo Very good still. No flaws. No drawbacks. I still? love it and recommend it.

@aagguimaraes This is PRK. Were it LASIK, they would not scrape away the? flap. they would cut a circle in it and lift it up. I prefer PRK. It takes a little longer to heal, but once it’s healed, it’s great and has lower risk of messing up later.

PRK? or LASIK? This is a question…

So, Danley, its been quite some time now since you went through this surgery.
How do you feel now in terms of your eye sight ?
did you face any flaw since then ? any drawback ??
