I got PRK in college due to my terrible vision (ineligible for LASIK). One of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Here are my thoughts / recommendations: (1). Find a highly recommended, extremely experienced doctor for your surgery. Please, do not skimp on this. You only have one set of eyes. (2). Plan to take a week off (at least) from work. If you have a partner or family who can assist you, then ask if they could help / check in on you during the week. (3). Recovery is painful. Not initially, but once the epithelial cells on your eyes have regrown for a few days, light sensitivity and pain become more pronounced. Expect to sleep in a dark room and listen to podcasts. In summary, I highly recommend the surgery. Anecdotally, it has been great for me. Again, the crucial bit is finding a surgeon you’re confident in, scheduling your PTO and caregiving (if possible).
