Surgeons should be required to offer PRK over LASIK and explain the many advantages in terms of less risk of complications and lower cost. I had to get PRK because I have thin corneas, but I'm not sure it would have even been raised as an option for me had that not been the case.
- toomuchtodo 7y ago100 percent. My biggest beef with LASIK was it was rapidly commercialized and commodified by surgeons who were maximizing for volume, not patient outcomes. I won't disagree it's helped improve quality of life for a lot of people, but at the cost of folks who saw a significant decrease in quality of life because they weren't steered towards better options (surgical or otherwise). Misaligned incentives.
