I dont post here much, but the post caught my eye (bad pun)... I had PRK done 2.5 years ago, and while painfull for 2 days it was the best thing I have ever done... If I did it again I would have done Lasik, just because the pain is said to be much less... I went from -4.0 , -4.0 (not that bad but bad enough that I needed corrective lenses all the time) ... I am now perfect 20/20 vision, and have been for 2.5 years with no complications...(age 35)

I also have 4 friends who all had lasik and all are very happy with it... Only one person had complications, that being having "halos around streetlights while driving" which cleared up after about 6 months...

The only downside, according to eye doc was that I will probably need reading glasses 1 or 2 years earlier then I may have pre-sugrery... A fine tradeoff by me [img]smile.gif[/img] ...

Like Larry said, take your drops and visit for your checkups and I am sure you will be happy with descision... BTW it cost me 2100$ cdn for both eyes... approx 1500$ USA... Was same price for both PRK and lasik...
