[QUOTE="cowboydoc, post: 2402732, member: 8065"] I had PRK 10 years ago. I could have had lasik but was told by two doctors that PRK would be better long-term The recovery was not as bad as I expected - dry, scratchy feeling like sand in the eye for the first few days. I was driving and could have been back at work within a few days but took off a full 10 days. I am in the medical field and spoke at length with my doctor about the possible complications. Many (not all) are caused by poor compliance with instructions and medications. I can't count the times people tell me they have left over antibiotics or meds from last year. Follow all instructions, take your meds, and use the the artificial tears liberally to keep your eyes moist. Take lots of naps the first few days and wear the protective goggles so you don't rub your eyes. I am still 20/20 in both eyes. [/QUOTE]
