what is better prk or lasik
Wave-front guided PRK or wave-front guided Lasik?
Which should I get? I am a candidate for both. I do have slightly larger than average pupils. I know PRK takes longer for healing time. Any one have any knowledge about this? Is PRK better than Lasik? My doctor said it’s just a persona preference, but there has to be some differences between the two in terms of safety and long-term effects.
Both have equally good track records and should be equally capable of dealing with your prescription error. The main differences between the two are 1) as you said speed of recovery and 2) PRK is able to get the same results but does not thin the cornea as much as LASIK. So, if you have thinner than normal preop corneas or a pretty strong preop prescription it is sometimes better to choose PRK over LASIK.
