Personal healing experiences from PRK?!

Personal healing experiences from PRK?

I am having PRK refractive surgery later this week and have researched all aspects, studies, docs, the procedure itself.

What I am interested in is people's personal experiences with the healing time. How long was it before the discomfort subsided? How long before your vision began to get back to normal? I know the answers will vary per individual, but would certainly help me know what to expect from the "real world" healing experiences versus published studies and articles by physicians.

i had it done 4 weeks ago & now am happy to say my vision is great. sometimes blurry after looking at computer for hour or longer but eyedrops clear it up right away. often now i find my vision better than it was before with glasses. as far as pain, i was worried after reading about so much & even doctor said 2nd & 3rd day after would be painful, but i did not have hardly any at all. just dry eyes & doing eyedrops often often OFTEN as directed by doctor & it was sometimes dry like any time you would have normal dry eye. i did tons of research about equipment, methods, and doctors before i got it doen & went with place that was 4 hours from home because doctor used alegreto laser and was on ground floor of laser eye surgery & testing of allegreto machine..... it also meant paying $1500 more than the "discount" assembly line places... everything comes down to 2 things !!"everything"!! the doctor & the equipment. 1st time to get my surgery done my doctor even stopped me just before going in room to review options because he was reviewing tests (3rd time testing eyes to make sure of consistancy) done that same day & instead of going ahead with lasik he offered money off price ( because of the hassle) to reschedule for prk, but it was completely my choice to do lasik same day or prk later ... most doctors would have rushed a person through and took the money..... good luck and remember your eyes are a valuable assett you are paying someone to operate on
