PRK Surgery

[SamAca10]

I am seriously considering getting PRK and only have to get an appointment to have it done. Can anyone who has had it done or has professional experience with it tell me about the side effects that have been reported and their severity?

Are you able to get Lasik ChockStock? Some of my friends here have gotten PRK and it's definitely a longer healing process. Eye surgery is definitely one of the better things I've done

I'm a senior in high school doing NROTC in college. Can anyone elaborate on the competitiveness of getting selected for eye surgery in NROTC?

Nope, it is not offered at West Point anymore, just PRK

CORRECTION!!!!!!


LASIK is still offered at West Point. The current doctor has simply not performed any yet (I believe he prefers PRK over LASIK) but the procedure is still available
