Ditto, today I'm 1 year to the day after my PRK surgery. The only side effect I had was dry-eye, and man is it a pain. I can't ride my bike without some form of eye protection (sunglasses, or clear goggles). 2-3 times per week I wake up with severely, painfully dry eyes.
All that said, it was worth it and I wouldn't go back. Being able to see without glasses/contacts is a huge improvement on quality of life.
+1 for PRK over Lasik
- d23 10y agoI have dry eyes now as a result of PRK and part of me wishes I had just stuck with contacts.
- rudolf0 10y agoPart of me wishes the same, but then I remember all the advantages of having no contacts or glasses and I know it's worth it. Carrying around eye drops isn't that much of a hassle, and the dry eye usually is just more uncomfortable than painful. It's only an issue when there's a lot of wind shear.
