Answer Snippet
PRK or LASIK? I’m a Minus 8 with Dry Eye.
PRK for minus 8
Aug 3, 2012
We don’t recommend that you have LASIK done but rather consider PRK with mitomycin C.

Here are the concepts which you need to keep in mind:

By having having LASIK at your prescription level requires a lot of corneal tissue removal which increases your chances of possible corneal ectasia problems in the future.

Also LASIK will increase your chances of having dry eye problems in the future although most of the dry eye symptoms are temporary…

I Am Considering PRK or Lasik for Astigmatism, but is It Too High?
PRK or LASIK for Astigmatism
Aug 3, 2012
You can have either PRK or LASIK for your level of astigmatism. Which procedure you have is not as important as the technology and surgeon that does your procedure. For the past 15 years we have done PRK and LASIK BOTH for your level of astigmatism with excellent results.

Good luck, you only have 2 eyes!

Lasik Available for Severe Myopia +7.5 Both Eyes? I’m 35, Thanks.
LASIK for Severe Myopia
Aug 3, 2012
Yes, you may have LASIK for myopia of minus 7.5, BUT you have to make sure that your cornea is thick. There is also a non flap option for correcting minus 7.5 called PRK. However, in your post you wrote + 7.5 which means you actually have farsightedness or hyperopia which is very different than myopia or nearsightedness. If, indeed, that is the case, than your options at your age are limited to either doing nothing or doing a clear lens exchange and replacing your natural…
Lasik Vs PRK for Thinner Cornea and Higher Prescription?
PRK for Thinner Cornea
Aug 3, 2012
We feel that PRK is a much better option for you. Here is why. Because you are young your prescription may change a bit into your 30’s, having PRK will give you the opportunity to have an enhancement 5, 10 or even 15 years from your initial treatment. If you had LASIK and need an enhancement 5,10 or 15 years later you must do PRK anyway.

Secondly, if you are very active and participate in sports, after LASIK there is always the possibility of dislodging the flap…

PRK and Monovision on High Prescription with Astigmatism?
PRK and Monovision
Aug 3, 2012
We agree with monovision and PRK. Your myopia is significant and pupil size large in order to perform the proper LASIK correction it would require significant removal of corneal tissue which may possibly lead to corneal ectasia in the future and poor quality vision.

PRK is a better option BUT there is a possibility of corneal haze with PRK therefore the doctor who does your treatment should consider using Mitomycin which is used during the PRK treatment to reduce the possibility of…
