PRK laser eye surgery

Just wear contacts and get some of those Bruce Buffer ab implants with the money.

I'm standing here with money in hand eager to get either procedure but I can't because I have chronic dry eye. Started about 2 years ago after wearing contacts for 20 years. I've been on restasis, xiidra, etc with little to no improvement. Really pisses me of because I can't even wear contacts at this point.

What's the cost difference between the two. Also my sister had lasik for 2 grand and swears by it

i got LASIK on Monday.. pretty painful 4-5 hours post-op.. but i'm doing great now.. 20/20 vision

Any reason why you guys would recommend that over Lasik?

I have cornea issues that prevents me from getting LASIK.

PRK has a longer recovery time, but for me, it would fix my cornea problem AND my vision.

USAF did my PRK back in like 2002, I think. Recovery sucked, but it was great up until about 2013 when I started needing glasses again. Not sure if that’s a common experience, but it was good while it lasted.

I'm having a cornea transplant in just over two weeks. I've been wearing lenses for about 30 years and they cannot make lenses in the right shape anymore. I won't be able to bend over fully, exercise or work for at least a month.

I had the epi-lasik done years ago... but having just googled epi-lasik and PKR, it seemed like I might have had the PKR done instead...

I should get PRK surgery, but the damn copay....
Maybe I should start a gofundme
