A Comparison between PRK and LASIK

In our daily lives, many sufferers of particular eye diseases tend to receive LASIK surgery and they can regain perfect vision as a result. But in some other cases, PRK is also very popular among some patients. In fact, PRK can get almost the same success rate as LASIK. But the two forms are not the same completely. Therefore, it is of vital importance for some patients to know the similarities and differences between the two surgeries.

Generally, in both of the two surgeries, patients will seldom feel any pain; some medications are needed after the surgery; it will take some time to recover; some common eye diseases can be cured by them, such as nearsightedness, astigmatism, etc.

As for the success rate, both of the two forms are very ideal and receivers can always get their perfect vision after the surgery. However, there are some differences in the operating process. For instance, sufferers of particular eye problems have to receive PRK only. Receivers of PRK will have to wear some special devices for some time. In the process of LASIK, a flap will be made. And the recovery time varies, too. There is no difference in their outcomes and the only point is one should find the form that suits him most. Therefore, one is suggested to consult with a well-experienced surgeon before taking the surgery.
