Why would I have PRK instead of LASIK?

There are several things to look at when considering if someone is a good candidate for LASIK or PRK. Patients with asymmetry in their corneas, thin corneas, or those who are very physically active and involved in sports which might involve getting hit in the eye would be better candidates for PRK. The reason for that is to allow for more stability in the structure of the eye.

Both procedures are very common and each procedure has their pros and cons. The most important thing is to achieve the best quality of vision.

For a complimentary LASIK or PRK consultation, contact ClearView Eye and Laser Medical Center.
