This is a follow up to my PRK surgery video. I try to answer most questions that have been asked of me since the procedure. I discuss the results, the surgery itself, recovery, and Lasic vs PRK. See procedure video on my channel at www.youtube.com I am not a doctor, just a patient giving you me experience in an honest and unbiast way. Hope you find the info useful.

@MarkandJanna i think mine is same as ur i can see everything but i cant see car numberplate from 20 meter its blurry. i am 17 at the moment do you think i should get le=aser eye treatment.
thats 100 percent true about the millitary using prk. you can accually be denied airborne school and other jobs like that if you have lasik because the force of the chute opening can damage the eye like he said.
it can’t be too great if you end up in a car accident =P only kidding.. any other type of methods? i want to get this done by both look horrid… one is cutting the thin layer of skin while the other is rubbing against it … a lot in a unprofessional manner( saw a video on youtube of it.. i sure hope it’s the one where u spin that machine thing and remove the layer then laser and thats it… )any extra charge for stigmatism? i just know someone will want to charge more intentionally
I dont know of any other method. Like any surgery it can give you the creeps but as I keep saying its well worth it. No extra charge for astigmatism. One charge for the procedure.
i m going to have the prk surgery in two weeks in greece – europe… i am a little nervous but i hope to have great results as you do! i am worried about the first 2-3 days but i think i can handle it…. thanks for the info…
Thanks for the video. I have to clarify, though, you are confusing the epithelium with the cornea. The membrane removed in PRK is NOT the same thing as the “flap” in LASIK. In PRK they only remove the epithelium, or the thin membrane OVER the cornea. With LASIK they cut the flap INTO the cornea itself, much deeper than the epithelium, and use the laser to remove tissue from the inside of the cornea. The epithelium regrows in days, while the LASIK flap would never regrow if removed.
does your wife occasionally have dry eyes after her lasik even now?
@MarkandJanna i think mine is same as ur i can see everything but i cant see car numberplate from 20 meter its blurry. i am 17 at the moment do you think i should get le=aser eye treatment.
No she never has dry eye.
Although i am only 13, how long did it take for you to see even better than your glasses after the surgery? Or, see the same with glasses?

My vision is -5.00. Can i do PRK operation with vision like that?
sure you can
at what time after the surgery you can tolerate smoke or smoking
Dont be silly fo course you can the max is -9.00.
What are the chance to go blind after one of these surgerys? 99.99% for succes and 00.01 for blindness
but really what are the chances
what eye condition did you have before you had the surgery
@garn100 not worth the risk broseph
I dont smoke but your eyes are sensitive for about 3-4 days.
Thats your opinion. Having gone through it I think its worth the risk as it is a total life changer.
I had an astigmatism and was nearsighted.
just a few days.
@MarkandJanna Yeah I know but I know some people like you have success with it but I don’t want to be one of the dudes that gets messed up.
@MarkandJanna
how bad was your eyesight?
