RE: My Personal Experience with Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) Eye Corrective Surgery.
Wish I could have caught you before you had it done. I wish you the very best. I was the manager of a ophthalmology clinic when the FDA approved these corrective procedures. There is a LOT of deception about how much pain most people experience and about the severity of the halos they see.
I know glasses and contacts are bothersome, but these are doctors who cut on a very delicate organ - and an otherwise healthy one - for profit. It is really sad, something I am not very proud that I was part of.
I wish you full and speedy recovery, and I hope others heed your warning (and mine.)
Yes! Exactly! Technically my procedure didn't cut anything and it was more of a sanding. The optometrist I went to has a great reputation for excellence and is highly respected in the community. Without that kind of background of the individual doing it I may never have. Went to one place before and was alarmed at the lack of precision in their processing.
