Description:

Vision Corrective Surgery is very common, there are different surgical options for vision correction. The most common is Lasik laser eye surgery. This type of surgery is very effective, but some patients are poor candidates for this type of Eye surgery. Having a thin cornea eliminates the ability to make a flap of the cornea for surgery. PRK is an excellent alternative for those patients as no corneal flap is necessary for PRK.

I had PRK and I have never been happier. I had been considering lasik for so long and when I finally had it done, my vision is so clear. My doctor said I had a very thin cornea. I also do a lot of kick boxing.
