What kind of pain is associated with PRK?

roxyahn25 asked:


I AM HAVING PRK DONE NEXT TUESDAY. I WAS WONDERING IF SOMEONE CAN TELL ME THEIR EXPERIENCE. I HEAR THERE IS SOME PAIN/DISCOMFORT……..BUT HOW PAINFUL IS IT? DOES IT FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO RUB YOUR EYES CONSTANTLY (I KNOW YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO, THAT’S WHAT WORRIES ME).? ALSO, CAN CRYING AFFECT THE HEALING PROCESS? ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!

I had PRK July 24th, 2007. Is it OK to use Visine or some other OTC eyedrops for minor eye redness?

rocky asked:


Everything is fine, all healed-up, etc. Still taking Flarex once a day for another five days. Also using moisturizing drops throughout the day and “something-PM” ointment at bedtime.

How long did it take you to see clearly after having PRK (NOT LASIK)?

chichibaby asked:


I had PRK done six days ago and my vision is getting better but it’s still kinda blurry.

How long did it take for you (personally) to see clearly?

Why you don’t see many ophtalmologists or optometrist with either lasik or prk done?

mini_me asked:


I have been using glasses for the past 14 years of my life and every time I go to have my eyes checked and prescription done I see doctors using glasses and when every single time I ask about why they havent had surgery done they tell me that they are too busy performing them and dont have time to get it done. I sure dont belive that answer. I am thinking about having surgery myself but the fact that doctors are not getting it themselves make me think it twice.
