When it comes to refractive surgery, the two best options are LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) or PRK (photorefractive keratectomy). LASIK will result in a faster healing time, but may present more secondary complications.
While LASIK usually heals very well with out incident there are situations that may complicate the process resulting in serious issues that may alter the final results.
PRK is a surgical procedure that reduces or eliminates the need for eye glasses. It involves brushing off the Epithelium or outer layer of the cornea and then treating the underlying tissue with a laser.
