Greetings friends, I am one hour out from getting PRK eye surgery done. In the interest of science I plan to record the procedure and all or any effects it has on my person be it physical, emotional or mental.
I've seen my Doc, old man Hamish earlier today I was given no type of pre-surgery information other than the usual legal mumbo-jumbo I was required to sign upon agreeing to the preceedure. I am anxious to see the results but from I understand the recovery process for PRK is pretty brutal. I opted PRK over LASIK due to a huge discrepancy in price, the trade off is a longer recovery process.
In PRK they use the same type of laser to reform the eye. The difference is in the method they use to get past the outer corneal layer. Instead of cutting a circular flap they use some type of chemical agent to dissolve then rub away the outer layer. After that is removed the inner cornea can be reshaped by the laser.
In the event of my blinding or death learn from my mistakes: farewell friends
