crookmatt asked:


How long does it take until you can drive/read/look at a computer screen, etc. (Even if not fully recovered)

And how long for complete recovery?

Thanks

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!

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.

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.
