I would like to know if some has had the PRK procedure done. I would like to have honest opinions.?


Question:
instead of lasik. I was told about PRK.

Answers:
I am recovering from prk right now (3 days out) It is a bit uncomfortable, but totally manageable. I was prepared for pain and discomfort 1000 times worse. Not that bad. I was able to go out to dinner last night. Just make sure that you have 3 days to totally devote to sleep if needed. I had HORRIBLE vision and I already have to OK to drive from my doctor GLASSES FREE!

What is prk?
i have heard it is the most painful experience ever. This was from an RN that had it done and she said she wasn't eligible for lasik. She also said she had been through all sorts of pain and none of it compared to this. she had to be off for a week and had to have her husband do everything for her because she couldn't see. She said if I ever had the choice then to always choose lasik over prk.
Lasik Surgery and PRK is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges kall types of surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as all types of surgery is not covered by insurance.

They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your eye surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.hope this helps.


my cousin got his PRK treatment in India at just 30% of the cost and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company and more than very happy with the results.
