I had done a ton of research back when I first had Prk done on both eyes in 2010. At that time. The military only allowed waivers for prk for pilots and I wanted to be a army helicopter pilot. My doctor and nurses kinda told me (secretly) later that most everyone opts for Lasik and that they thought prk was better and had less complications. Beyond the moderately more upfront discomfort. That long term the stats were better for prk. It took a bit before I stopped regretting it(from discomfort). Eventually I came around to thinking it was best decision. My quality of life has gone up a lot(not having to deal with glassses/contacts) Simply being able to see the clock in the middle of the night. And I recently had it done a 2nd time on my right eye. Currently try in healing now (2 days ago) it was significantly less bothersome this time. No idea why. And while I never had any noticeable night time driving issues. I think this is probably a decreasing concern in that in a few years with the rise of autonomous cars. Most of us won't night drive anyways.
