>>2862047I got PRK a couple months ago. I had a complication in one eye, so that eye isn't perfect... yet.
I took a drug 5+ years ago called Accutane, an extremely harsh drug for acne. It worked wonders on my acne, but the side effects were significant and longterm. I wouldn't recommend it to just anyone. That's a personal choice. In some ways, you might consider Accutane vain, but I experienced substantial pain from my severe cystic acne.
Likewise, I wouldn't flippantly suggest getting PRK, even if you are approved, but not having to wear glasses has improved my QOL. No more hassle with ill-fitting glasses, and no more worry about potentially damaging this instrument I need in order to see. I need eye drops (dry eye prior to surgery), but at least I don't have to think about glasses. For me, despite the possibility of less than perfect vision (I'm a perfectionist btw), I'm, at this moment, quite satisfied.
