Q) If I’m nearsighted, is PRK a better choice than LASIK?
A) Photorefractive keratectomy [PRK] or LASIK can be performed if you are nearsighted, farsighted or have astigmatism. Results are similar but the healing time differs. During your consultation, the doctor will go over the best procedure for you based upon your activities, the shape and thickness of the front surface of the eye [cornea].
