PRK ( Photorefractive Keratectomy )
Also known as PRK, this type of laser eye surgery can help if you are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism. It works best if your eye problem is mild or moderate.
Pros
It’s highly accurate in correcting many cases of nearsightedness. Most people have 20/20 or at least 20/40 vision without glasses or contact lenses one year after the surgery.
Cons
It isn’t a walk in the park. You might have:
- Mild discomfort, including minor eye irritation and watering, for 1 to 3 days after the procedure.
- A longer recovery time. People who get LASIK notice improvements in less than a month. With PRK it can take 1 to3 months.
- A need for glasses.
Side Effects
You’ll have mild discomfort in the first 24 to 72 hours after surgery. You might be sensitive to light for a while, too. Within the first 6 months you might also notice that you need eyeglasses for improved vision.
How Do I Prepare?
First you’ll meet with an eye surgeon or a coordinator who to talk about what you should expect during and after surgery. She’ll discuss your medical history and check your eyes. Likely tests include:
- Corneal thickness measure
- Refraction
- Corneal mapping
- Eye pressure check
After that, your surgeon will answer any questions you have. Then you’ll schedule your surgery.
