My vision after PRK eye surgery: 2-month update | Elora Jean
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 авг 2018
- HERE'S THE SUMMARY:
I underwent PRK surgery on June 22, 2018. My vision is doing great! My eyes are sensitive if I touch them too hard, so removing makeup is a more gentle process than it usually is for me. Otherwise, I feel like I can see very well. I would be happy if my vision stayed at where it is. I no longer use the steroid drops, but continue using the refreshing eye drops to maintain moisture and prevent friction against my cornea from blinking. I will continue to update!
Let me know if you have questions :)

If you got it done yesterday it wouldn't have been life changing when you made the comment lol ..I just had prk done 6 days ago I have about 40% vision in my eyes
@@adamcoatta7546 news flash buddy. Everybody’s bodies recover differently 😂😂😂
@@tonyg5292 but not in 1 day. Its not LASIK
Got mine a week ago, and I have the exact same symptoms as yours. I was worried, thank you so much for your video, I’m MUCH calmer now ✌🏻✌🏻
How are you now? Do you have blurry vision? Any bad side effects?
@@Nephew075 hi
Perfect sight on both eyes, actually I can see a bit better than a healthy person
Some tearing when it’s windy, nothing serious, but no other side effects
I’m so grateful
@@Nephew075 hi ,I have blury vision after prk, are still having same
@@sharathchandra3918 how is your vision now ?
Your videos helped me a lot when I got PRK 4 months ago. It prepared me so I knew what to expect! Can you give us an update now? :)
The Army does the same thing for everyone who doesn't know. I am hopeful to get mine done soon, Great video thanks for the information!!
I'm surprised no one else has said this but you have a Christina Aguilera vibe. Or at least you seem like a good singer
Omg..glad I came across this.. I had Prk done in one eye..my left eye.. audits been almost 12 days now and I too am.experienxing double vision ..and I also work with a computer all day. . I actually still use my glasses very sparingly..but inwas getting frustrated amd thought there was something wrong with my eye..OK. I'll keep hoping for the best and hope this double vision clears up soon. Thanks I feel a little better now.. thougt I was the only one at first.
How is your vision now? Please let us know
@@Nephew075Hi doctor,I have done prk in my left eye,double vision after 6th week of prk,is it wil be cured.
@@Nephew075is double vision gone
@@Nephew075is double vision gone
I'm like you now
How was it after that?
Thanks for making this update video! It helps to hear someone's perspective. I'm considering getting PRK soon.
PRK is dope, got it my first few months at my first duty station 👌🏾
How long did you wait till you started wearing eye makeup again? And in your opinion, what was the best way to remove eye makeup after having the surgery?
The best practice is to put some drops or gel before going to sleep. When we sleep the eyes are not completely shut and they get dry causing that soreness/dryness in the morning
Just got mine done 2 weeks ago, and i am expierencing the same symptoms you have, hoping for my vision to improve in the near future.
Much love from South Africa🇿🇦
Why didn't you chose LASIK?
@@chairmanraja585 the DR said that i was a candidate for that specific one and not the Lasik
How is your vision now?
@@aqrabjo hi my Right eye is doing very good, around 95% improvement. My left eye however not so well. Still experiencing some blurred vision and have to do cross linking on the 21 Jan 5 days from now.😔
This (left eye) has always been my weaker eye and was seen with my specticales yearly as left presciption changed year on year and Right stayed the same.
Yo Wallace hows your eye now
Thank you so much for sharing your experience in this video as well as the recovery video (just before surgery and the days after surgery). I just had PRK done a week ago and I've found both videos super helpful. Thanks!!
I’m so glad the surgery worked out well for you. I believe our military should not have to pay for laser eye surgery. I’m happy to have my tax dollars pay for that. It is the least we can do to show our gratitude for keeping us safe in whatever capacity.
I also had PRK in June of 2018 and it was the best thing I’ve ever spent money ($5,000) on. My uncorrected vision was -7.50 in both eyes. So I was definitely considered legally blind. Now I am 20/15 which is slightly better than 20/20. I couldn’t be more happy.
God bless you and keep you safe.
You do realize our tax dollars are what goes to the military's budget, right?
How long did it take for you to get back to having 20/15 vision after your procedure? I know that most people have different recovery experiences but I’m just trying to get a ballpark time frame. I’m 1 week post PRK and my vision is still pretty blurry.
Damn, I have -5.5 in each eye, which is really bad, but -7.5, wow. I'm enlisting soon, and definitely want to get this done so I was curious how effective it would be with my -5.5 eyes. To hear you went from -7.5 and now are seeing 20/15. That makes me so incredibly excited, and I would absolutely pay $5000 to fix my eyes, but if the military could pay for it, that would probably be the best thing to ever happen to me. Just the thought of not having to wear glasses or deal with contacts again fills me with joy.
I’m also curious about the recovery? How long did it take to get to 20/20? I’m sitting at -5.5 in both eyes
Thank you for sharing your experience. I had Lasik 10 years ago and always knew there was a chance I would need it again. Fast forward to now, I had PRK last week. Recovery is slower and a bit frustrating because I had experienced the instant results of Lasik. Watching your vids it's reassuring to know the double vision and blurriness is normal and clears up. Cheers from NZ
Hi, I had Lasik done 13 years ago. I'm now considering PRK, but I am nervous about it 🙄
@@eimearclerkin5555 Hi! Nervous is normal. It is a completely different experience. Recovery is slower, but the results are incredible. If I had to get PRK again, I would do it in a heartbeat
Why did you have it again?
Starburst and glare? Pls reply
@@Mr_Grimestone what about starbursts
Got my surgery tomorrow nervous! Af! 😬 good vid 👍🏻
Anjel Rodriguez How’d it go?
Watching your video kinda relieved me. Got a PKR surgery for about a month, and my vision is still a bit blurry... Was wondering if I was the only one! Feels better now! Thanks for your feedback, and hope you're going well.
Akiro Lenz How long did it take for your vision to come back to normal? I did my surgery 2 weeks ago and it is still blurry
Now what is your condition
Hi Akiro!
I'm 24 days in post PRK and I'm sortie on the same boat as you. Wondering how your vision is now and when exactly did your vision get better.
My prescription was pretty high (-9.5 in one eye, -8.5 in another).
@@urhyung how are you now?
@@everydayescapes3367 my vision is great now! Given my high prescription I knew I would never attain complete 20/20 vision and that was made clear to me by my doctor. Now my current prescription is -0.5 in both eyes (which I’ll gladly take). I don’t need to wear glasses however when driving at night I do feel I have some difficulty given that I have an astigmatism.
Glad your recovery went well-ish.. glad tour doing great.Your voice always makes my heart warm❤. Your shirt is cute, I love it!
I hope you can do a one year update. I want to correct my vision but I'm between Lasik or PRK
your surgeon can tell you which will work better for you during consultation to determine if youre a candidate
@Angelica Gonzalez haha I am here because of LASIK flap complications in one eye. Flap kept wrinkling in the middle. "Refloating" it and stretching it back into place didn't work, so I basically got a mini-PRK (epithelial removal of the wrinkly area) yesterday and want to get a general sense of the recovery. My vision was cloudy before because of the wrinkles, but it's even worse now because of the removal...which is kinda scary after the quick clearing up you get with LASIK haha.
The other eye that healed just fine is about 20/20-20/15 (they told me 20/15 today, but I feel like I still have to make more of an effort to read the 20/15 line).
@@RocknCorruptrepublic Is your eye any better?
@@rico-4407 I ended up having residual prescription and getting a full-on PRK enhancement (to avoid flap complications). They corrected a -0.75 Rx in that eye, said it was stubborn lol. It's excellent now. I had to get it done in the right too a few months ago (-1) but got Lasik for it and it's actually not as good as the prk side so far
In the Army trying to get PRK. That’s why I’m here 😶
Yeah, I have question: If your prescription was only -2.5, why would you choose PRK? Did you have very thin corneas? I had very bad LASIK experience as my eye got horrible dry due to the procedure severing vital autonomic nerves on the cornea, yes there are important nerves on the cornea, that no longer function to keep my eyes moist especially in dry environments. I don't see PRK being any safer procedure that can preserve these vital nerves. Ask yourself before considering any laser eye surgery: Why don't LASIK and PRK surgeons get the procedure done on themselves?
With PRK no flap created so no nerves cut. Same end result. People pick LASIK because they just can't wait for the result. I had PRK, no dry eye problems, no flap or early cataracts to worry about. It probably was more painful and had longer recovery but that was ok with me.
@@AS-tt8ui Hmmm, I picked LASIK because it was suppose to be cutting edge, newer than PRK, with custom Wavefront technology and laser cut flap. No one told me about essential nerves being cut and can cause Dry Eye Syndrome. Count your blessings that you don't have permanent nerve damage with your PRK procedure, but be aware that even though the fringes of the nerves are cut in the PRK procedure, Dry Eye Syndrome still happens with PRK: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5702539/
You’re top looks super cute! 😍😍
Patricia Nummerdor thanks! It’s from zaful, it’s actually a full romper 😊
Hi Elora,
I had my PRK done a week ago. Have all the symptoms you went through. God, I was so wishing that there was some post op feedback from someone on this topic and found your video. Thank you for that! I see that it’s been more than a year now since you had it, so how is your vision now? And, how long after the op where you able to go back to work and function normally.Thanks again.

Can u tell me how much time for good vision and double vision recovery
Happy to hear your review about the procedure. I got prk 12 days ago , i had about -5 in both eyes.. 7 days after the surgery i was seeing great with mild bouble vision and the bandage contacts were removed. From the moment of this removal my vision became more blurry and the double vision became much much worse specialy in the right eye. Ithought it will get better in 1-2 days but now it has been 5 days and i still see double. I am surprised now that it took you 2 weeks till you get rid of this annoying double vision and i can not imagine living like this for aother week XD.!!! . Was it the same during the whole 2 weeks or it got better gradually ?
It did get better gradually, but it took a whiiiiile for me to feel normal. I was really frustrated having to work on a computer while barely being able to read the text on the screen haha
@@EloraJean thanks for your reply!! .. Yes it is very annoying im getting crazyyyy! , so i can feel what u have been through exactly! .. I was actualy wondering how u did the computer work XD . I can barly write this msg now with one eye closed cuz i can only fucyion partialy with the left one XD .. Hopefuly the final results will be worthy :D
How do you feel now?
I had mine two months ago. My left eye which had the worse prescription (-7.00!!) still has some annoying double vision/ghosting. I am glad I am not the only one. curious about how your double vision is. Maybe it depends how bad your eyes were before? But then you said you were -5 in both
@@pilotrieulNow it has been almost 1 year and 10 months since i did prk ....... if i remember correctly it took me about 2 months till the double vision totaly cleared. But the dry eyes took more than year and a half.. and i can say I still have dry eyes but not as bad as before ..., my vision is still good though..wishing u the best recovery
Thanks for sharing. I won’t do it. I appreciate you helping me make up my mind
Thanks for these videos im getting prk done in a couple weeks!
Have u done it ?
Do you experience any worsening of your vision and other aspects of vision (like halo, glares, starburst, contrast, night vision, light sensitivity) after LASIK compared to before with glasses?
Honestly I’ve been considering this after I join. My vision is terrible I’m blind as heck. I feel like if I get this I’d probably cry when the effects are over.
You’re gorgeous!
me too
How’s your vision now ? 20/20? Or still -1
I am 45 and had LASIK two months ago. Is it normal for your vision to fluctuate between morning and night? I feel pretty clear in the morning but night are definitely more dry but also a little blurry.
Same problem it has been 20 days and my eyes are 6/6 in morning but become blurry after noon and more and more upto night .
Got mine done yesterday and maan the irritation from the bandage lenses are irking me
I got prk 2 month ago but still my vision blurry pls give me answer ... Its normal???
Yes, because you were not supposed to do that in the first place. Surgery is never the answer
I take omega3 twice a day and it really helps to feel less dryness
My myopia is at -8 diopeter. How long will prk take 2 clear vision. Is it a possibility 2 do 1 eye at a time. As I don't have any1 2 help me with close up book work.
Also how comparable is the discomfort level to chopping onions
Wow for two months your eyes are still really red
Hi, how are you now? And are you able to look at a computer screen for long periods of time? I work on a computer and I wanna know if it's fine. thank you!
im considering it. So scared though.
Omg -2.5 😖 I was -4.75 when I got mine!
I started with 2,50 and 1,25, now I "have" 3,75 and 3,25, but I think I need like 4 and 3,75 lol
When I had 2,50 and 1,25 (no one knows why so different each other) I was totally fine with it, now I have to use my glasses the whole time...
And how are your eyes now ?
I got mine too , shitty experience 😑 and this is 2weeks later still blurry .
Edit: -4.5

Wow You Always Stay glowing😍
Did it 2 weeks ago.. started feeling frustrated because I have the same experience. Struggling with writing this comment. Your video gave me hope that l am going through the normal healing process. I have. a follow up appointment after 2 days. Let me see what doctor will say and l might update on this comment.
Any update? Hope you are doing better!
@@Xxcactus108xX I swear I don't think I've ever seen an update
@@punjab1captain probably a good sign tbh
How are your eye balls feeling these days?
I have been thinking about going into the Air Force for a while now and I want to become a pilot. Since I wear glasses I was considering Lasik or Prk , do you know if they will allow me to become a pilot if I were to get the surgery because I heard any corrective eye surgery will disqualify you from becoming a pilot.
That's a good question, but I don't know the answer. Definitely something you'd have to speak to a recruiter about and do some more research. I wish I could help more!
Amazing goat Double, triple check. I work with someone who had to do PRK because he wanted to fly while another girl went lasik being that it’s easier and she wasn’t trying to fly. If you do aviation or special-duty of some kind then they might say no to LASIK. Contact your recruiter and ask for the regs/AFI so you can read it for yourself as things have change a lot overall for us. Talk to other branches just Incase they have other rules as the AF can be very selective in the pilot program.
Amazing goat I’m in the navy and I just got prk.
First you need to be officer rank meaning you need a 4 year degree and then you need to pass a series of test. Most that want to become pilots typically do no reach their goals. Too many applicants vs spots available. Also lots of test and hoops to jump thru. It's not easy for airmen to end up being pilots. Plus when I was in the air force airmen and officers do not socialize... Or it is highly discouraged
army's program is alot less competitive .. you could even do it enlisted with enough time. (warrant officer path). it may not be fixed wing but its still a pilot job... they usually would recommend prk for pilots but the army has very low requirements for vision. most of the people i work with have lasik (not aviation). some pilots even have glasses (from what i've seen). if you talk to a recruiter, take what they say with a grain of salt, they just want you to sign a contract. (quotas) and don't enlist, unless you like being treated like a child and being forced to do stupid shit. go officer route.
Do you still use glasses to work at the computer?
i went with Bates. I went from -2.5 to -1 in a year. Cost: $40.
I GOT MY PRK SURGERY 2 WEEKS AGO IN MY RIGHT EYE ITS TAKING LONG TO HEAL AND PAINFULL ,IM WONDERING WHY MY EYE IS LOOK SMALLER SINCE SURGERY :( VISISON IS STILL BLURRY ..AND SWELLING PLZ TELL ANY BODY IM WORRIED WHEN I WILL SEE BETTER ;(
I had prk surgery about a month ago and I still can't see well.if you're curious how bad it is, I can't read the plate number of a car from 2 meter distance. I can't drive I just tried to drive my car today and I couldn't . And I did both eyes, the right side is a lot better than the left side is not. I'm not sure if it's going to ever heal, and also my left eye is painful sometimes. The pain is not unbearable but it's still painful. I believe they exaggerated about it being easy. Sorry about my English it's not my basic language. Hope you feel better soon I just wanted you to know that you're not alone.

Update ?
I'm very familiar with prk and it's long term side effects. What prk machine did they use on your eyes and what variant of prk technique did they deploy on you during the the procedure. Because prk has been around for over 30 years. Did you get the 2017 version on the 2007 version.... Etc...
I have no idea which machine they used lol sorry

My vision didn't really clear up until about a month after surgery. The double vision was super annoying but it definitely went away! Just give it some more time :)
@@EloraJean ooh thanks baby. I am at heaven now.
How long do you need after work after the surgery?
How did you apply or get the waiver for the procedure? I want to join the air force and have extremely bad vision. Do I have to wait until after boot camp?
You do have to wait until after boot camp, and I think you have to be a certain age as well. I went to the eye doctor just to update my prescription, and noticed on the appointment slip I filled out there was an option that said "interested in PRK or LASIK," something along those lines. I circled that, and went from there. I had to schedule a few more appointments to do more tests, then had to get paperwork signed, but there's really no waiver. It's just a matter of getting approval from your commander.
ls you have to route a chit...(submitt paper) through chain of command for approval... you will probably / more than likely be accepted.
How long does it last. I had lasik and it lasted 10yrs now I'm wearing glasses and it sucks. It wasn't recommended to do prk, but I'm iffy about it.
I had LASIK done 11 years ago with -7 and -6.5 vision. Both eyes regressed slightly to -2.5 and -1. It wasn’t as bad as before LASIK, but it wasn’t good enough for me either, so I wanted to do LASIK again.
However, my cornea was too thin this time, so I was recommended LASEK instead. Similar to PRK, but the cornea epithelial gets put back in place instead of getting discarded.
I went ahead with it 11 days ago, and I am experiencing all the things mentioned in the video about the blurred and double vision. Reading is just really difficult, and it helps for a while with strong reading glasses (I change between +1.5 and +2.5). I really hope I can read normally again soon because I also work at a desk job, and I start at a new job in 3 days 😬.
I can’t say yet if it was worth it because of the really long healing time (LASIK was so much better on that front!), but if you go ahead with PRK, don’t expect the same immediate results and painless post-op healing like with LASIK.
@@SheilaSeahJakobsenHansen Hi how is your vision now please?
By glasses do u means reading glasses ?
I am one week in. My script was BAD. -6.00 in my right eye and -5.75 in my left. After I got the contacts out, my vision up close and reading was 20/20. Far away is blurry still. As of this post my surgery was 10 days ago. My quest is, When does the blurry vision and light sensitivity go away?
how ur vision now ?
How's your vision now
Are you not allowed to wear glasses after PRK?
Hi.....send your videos....I'm thinking about doing the prk too.... but the doctor said it could take a whole year to get my Vision back.... is that true?????
So I have a friend trying to get into the military. She has really bad vision and was denied on the waivers she sent in. Do you know, if she was to get PRK, and she heals and gets a waiver might that be a good possibility?
She'll have to talk to a recruiter for the branch she wants to join, they'll contact MEPS doctors and go from there
I got prk contoura last week and I feel my left eye is more blurr than my right eye is this natural
hii, how about your left eyes right now?
i ask because i feel the same
i hope u answer my comment and question, thanks
Hey bro did you get any floaters
Any update???
I heard about lasik surgery may reduce night blindness. Does PRK surgery effects night blindness?
I have no idea...I never had that problem prior to the surgery, so I wouldn't be a good person to ask.
5 weeks in. Vision got worse from a couple of weeks back. How do you clean the eye crust from your eyes?
Did u also have lasik how are your eye now ?
What was your visual acuity and what is it now?
Can you please comment the current eye power? Did the -1.00 D that you mentioned in the video still exists?
My vision is perfect now! 25/20, which is better than 20/20. I am so happy I got the surgery- the only side effects I'm dealing with now, nearly 1 year later, are dry eyes every once in a while after I wake up, stare at a screen too long or have my car heater blasting. My eyes are still slightly sensitive to the touch if I accidentally bump them over the iris and pupil area.
How long after the surgery did you start driving? I’m having mine done tomorrow 9-4-18. I’m a truck driver that’s why I’m asking.
MXWJ01 the doc told me one week no driving, after that stuff was still blurry to me so I wasn’t comfortable driving new places where I couldn’t read street signs
I know this is late, but is having dry eyes all the time still worth getting the surgery?? Scheduled for it two weeks from now and getting nervous about the surgery in general
So worth it! My dry eyes have pretty much limited to when I'm blasting my car heater, watching TV or staring at a computer for too long. It's not even that noticeable in the morning when I wake up or anything like that. I am super happy with the results.
Thank you so much for replying...trying not to get cold feet about getting this done. Have been looking forward to this for awhile and now thinking about the negatives
Ia it normal to have double vision after 2 weejs surgery Trans PRK
Hi. I did the PRK 6 days ago and the thing I am most annoyed and worried is that I dont see close, like nothing and that one eye is way better than the other.
Can you relate any to this? did you have any problem in seeing close?
Thank you...cool videos
Still very early stages. Takes weeks to get clearer. I’m sure there will be a massive improvement with time.
Is your vision better now? And when did you start seeing well from up close? I had the surgery 19 days ago and my vision is blurry, especially from up close (which was not the case before I got it done), so I’m really worried.
@@carolinajsanchez93, the vision got better and better by the week. At the 3 months mark, I felt I can see way better. I just had my eyes very dry, I was given some special drops for them. In the 5th month, I checked my vision and had 10/10 and 11/10 respectively, but very very close, close in an unnatural position was still blurred, but I can read and do anything else without problems.
@@carolinajsanchez93, It takes time, but so happy for you. You are gonna feel great soon.
Oh that’s wonderful news! Hope the blurriness when reading from up close disappears 100% though. Thanks for letting me know 😊
Please help.
It has been 12 days since the surgery and same I have a desk job. I can't see or read mails or anything. I m not confident to go out and cross roads also. Is it normal or should I go for a checkup?.
Give it a month before you start to worry. Everyone heals differently. I had the procedure about 10 years ago after hearing some of my friends had successfully gone through the surgery. They had told me they were able to see clearly in less than two weeks. When the two week mark came around for me, I still had pretty blurry vision with ghosting which worried me. It wasn't until the third week that my vision "snapped" into place. Hopefully, you're just a slow healer like me and just need some time.
@@billma5927 Thank you. Yes I might be a slow healer. I hope everything goes well❤️
Hi there, what’s your vision like now? Can you see well from up close and from far?
Had to increase all the fonts on m desktop. It’s very frustrating.
damn you are in air force nice, I'm in the army applying for officer one of the requirement here is vision need to be 20/20. Today is 9th day of transprk.
Hi! Thanks for so much information! I am considering prk and have a question. How do you remove eye makeup after prk? Is it any different?
Amarjit Kaur you should avoid makeup for a few days after prk (:
@@xodinn thanks so much for replying! I understand, I meant after you heal.
Why you blink a lot?
I have done my PRK 25 days ago..
And i have still dauble vision in my left eyes.... 😔
how is it now?
@@MrBlue-me9cd Is double is cured after prk
Hey, nice video! did your vision improve further after -1 ?
Yeah my vision looks perfect to me! My eyes are just sensitive to the touch and more susceptible to dryness now.
Thank you, this is definitely encouraging for me.
@@EloraJean Thanks Elora, After how much time of the surgery do you think ,I can return back to my computer job of 8hrs a day?
I need to tell me more about 3rd week after surgery cuz i have to get back to work next week still i can't see clear
How you feel now?
How’s your eyes now ?
prk recovery kitne din me hota hai ?
I need to know if you are the one I’m communicating with in private. If not, please reply here so I’d know if I’m talking to a fake Elora Jean or not.
How your vision right now? 6/6 or what?
It looks perfect to me! The only thing is my eyes are still a bit sensitive to the touch if I rub them too hard, and they can get a bit dry after sleeping or working on my computer for too long.
Hi first of all thank your video! I felt so relieved with your comments regarding the results. I had my PRK surgery a month ago. My eyesight is still blurry and i also see doubles as you mentioned.. i have just one question..How long did it take you to see clearly without doubles and blurriness? Thanks again!!
fatima shaheen I’m day 14 post lasEk (variant of PRK) and still have all what you mentioned, but the worst for me is the feeling of eye strain with daily headaches (like the feeling when you try to cross your eyes and you feel the strain) did anyone have similar issue? I’m depressed honestly 😭
Honestly it took about a month-1 1/2 months to not have double/blurry vision.
Thank you for ur reply, that helped a lot. Just one more question, how far can u see clearly ?? I was traveling last week and i was trying to read the signs to reach the gate area, but my vision was still not clear at a far distance, can u help on that please ?? How far can u c clearly ?? Thank u
I am at two months and still see double with my left eye even though I am at 20/20. I sure hope it goes away with time! I’m glad I am not the only one going through the double vision thing.
@@pilotrieulhow is your eyes now
How long do you have to be in the Air Force before they let you do the surgery?
Hmmm I'm not sure...I think you have to be a certain age, like at least 21? And have a certain amount of time left in your contract
Miss L 6 months. Well that’s navy
After how long can u swim?
Hmmm I don't remember, I know I couldn't get my eyes wet for like the first week but I'd be cautious even longer than that to swim because of the chemicals and bacteria in the water lol. Definitely a good question for a doctor.
@@EloraJean thanks for ur reply...
Can u plz tell me after how long can i able to read ? As i have a exam and got my date for prk before that.
Going for my prk in an hour
How’d it go? Mine is in a month
Hey,
Thanks for the videos.
I’m in the police and getting PRK because it was recommended in case of impact to the eye during my work. Just wondering, how is your prescription now? I’ve been told my the clinic to expect 20/20 ... I feel like that might be a sales pitch though. Anyhow will be getting it done in 2 weeks and good insight to it from your videos
My vision feels perfect! I'm so happy I decided to go through with the procedure because my eyesight is wonderful now. I'm not sure what my prescription is specifically but I can definitely tell you I have no complaints when it comes to how well I can see. The only thing I've really noticed is that my eyes are much dryer when I wake up or spend too much time in front of a screen, or have my heater blasting in the car lol. That's nothing I can't fix with some eye drops though. I would definitely recommend it and say it's worth it.
@@EloraJean hi, are they still dry now? Do you still need to use eye drops?
I Can not see good ten days now i Can not see computer good and Hard for me that use phone. I was upset Because i choose lasik But they Lie me this better
So do u still have to wear glasses after the procedure?
How is your vision today? I got my PRK a week ago from today and this blurry vision is KILLING me. I was a -6 and yes my sight is better than it was, i can actually wake up at night and see around me. but i still cannot see very far and this blurry is giving me headaches... i had no choice but to do the PRK. i am afraid that i will still be wearing glasses and contacts after this... that my sight might never be VERY GOOD.
@@magdaduplessis5130 mine is also minus 6 and idid the PRK since 23 days
I still see blurry
