Why would a patient have PRK instead of LASIK?
When considering if a patient is a good candidate for LASIK or PRK, several factors must be considered. PRK may be a better laser vision correction choice for patients who have asymmetric corneas or thin corneas. Also, PRK is recommended for patients who are involved in sports that might involve getting hit in the eye. The reason is that PRK allows for more stability in the structure of the eye.
Both the PRK and LASIK procedures are very common and each procedure has their pros and cons. The most important thing is to achieve the best quality of vision. To find out which procedure is best for you, you will need to start with a thorough medical examination by Dr. Sandy T. Feldman and the ClearView team. Contact us for more information.
