I was shopping for eye surgery several years ago and I had one well known DFW surgeon tell me I was not a candidate for Lasik but that he would do PRK on me. Cost was about the same. I got to researching the recover time of PRK and did not like the pain and healing time requirements. They also wouldn't do but one eye at a time.

I got a second opinion from another, equally well known, eye surgeon and he said Lasik would be no problem for me. So I ponied up about $3500 cash and had them both done at the same time. I got monovision so I read out of one eye and see longer distances with the other. No reading glasses. I was driving the next day, no pain. One side effect has been dry eye. I do keep medium weight eye drops around the house.

I wore glasses for 30+ years. I would do this Lasik again in a heartbeat.
