Description:

Treatment of the EYE. PRK is used as an alternative to LASIK eye surgery. This animated video reviews the benefits of having PRK as opposed to LASIK eye surgery, and who is a candidate for this surgery. PRK also uses laser eye surgery to correct vision of the eyes, but you do not have to open a flap of the cornea to perform this laser eye surgery. Video courtesy of eMedTV.com

PRK seems like a good alternative to LASIK eye surgery. I have researched it and I am nervous about the flap of the cornea not healing. Even though this is done with laser, I am afraid of my eyes not healing well.
