I'll be getting PRK eye surgery tomorrow (it's like LASIK but with a longer recovery time), so I will be offline for several days. 2020 is the perfect year to get perfect vision, even amidst a maelstrom of diverse crises.

Hi! I’m scheduled for PRK soon. Trying to get an understanding of people’s experiences - there are SUCH a wide array online. I’m wondering what your prescription was & how many days after surgery 1) you couldn’t be in light and 2) you couldn’t see your screen?
My prescription was -3 in one eye, -2 in the other. My eyes were super light-sensitive for 3-4 days and then it tapered off (I am still extra sensitive to light 45 days later, and that could last for a long time). Reading text on screens got tolerable about 7 days after surgery.

Hi! Sorry to bother you again but I thought of one more question. Do you feel like your nearsightedness has remained the same after PRK as it was before? Such as your ability to read a book?

My nearsightedness is just as great now as it was before my PRK. My procedure was as flawless as can be expected, and I have tested 20/20 vision now in both eyes. I’m still extra light-sensitive but that will supposedly fade over a few more months.
