This is what my vision looks like 3-days post PRK. Yesterday it was 20/30 and sharp!
I had a custom (wavefront) photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) performed on my left eye three days ago. Prior to the surgery, my vision was 20/100 (sph -1.25 diopters, cyl 0.5 diopters) for both eyes and I required corrective lenses to drive a car or pilot an airplane. I hadn’t considered laser surgery until I spent $300 on a pair of glasses last year only to have them craze from heat after being left on the dash of my car. Three weeks later the warranty-replaced lenses crazed even with a protective case and I’ve been stuck with blurry glasses since then. At that point, I realized the overall cost of laser surgery would be less than buying multiple pairs of glasses. In fact, I only wear glasses when driving or flying, so most people who know me are probably surprised to learn my prescription is so poor.
