PreOp® Patient Education Opthamology: PRK Laser Eye Surgery
www.PreOp.com Patient ED @ 617-379-1582 INFO Your doctor has recommended that you undergo Photorefractive Keratectomy – or PRK Laser surgery – to correct a vision problem. But what does that actually mean? The human eye is constructed like a camera …with a clear lens in the front and light-sensitive tissue at the rear. This tissue makes up the retina which acts like photographic film. In an eye that has perfect vision, light rays passing through the pupil are focused by the lens to fall precisely at the center of the retina. There are many common problems that can affect the eye and prevent light rays from focusing properly on the retina. Three of these problems, myopia – or nearsightedness; hyperopia – or farsightedness; and astigmatism can often be corrected or reduced with the use of PRK laser surgery. Myopia, or nearsightedness, occurs when the shape of the eye is too long or the curve of the cornea is too extreme. In this case, light rays are focused on a point in front of the retina – instead of on the retina itself. Hyperopia, or farsightedness, occurs when the shape of the eye is too short. In this case, light rays are focused on a point behind the retina. Astigmatism occurs when the cornea is unevenly curved, causing light rays to fall off center or not to focus properly at all. In either case, PRK laser surgery can be used to flatten all or part of the cornea …allowing your doctor to cause the focal point of light entering the eye to fall more closely to the …

Why the heck did they put a needle in your eye ?
they did that so i wouldn’t feel anything when they use the laser to repair my retna…to numb it up basically….
Well , I got that part . They could have just used numbing drops .
he said he needed something stronger since he was gonna operate with a laser
(the only thing they used numbing drops on me was for checking eye pressure) =P
when i say “numb”, after he gave me the shot, my eye got lazy, slowly drifted away from whatever i focused on, basically losing any control over it.
Well , i guess everything comes with a price then eventually you have some reward . Was the recovery bad ?
nope. everything was fine afterwards, i only had to wear an eyepatch tilll the next day =)
but i had to wait a while in between each eye they worked on. one day i get 2 shots in my right eye and then get it lasered, then 2 or 3 weeks later they do the same to my other eye
Ok , I am just curious to learn about this kind of stuff because I want to be a pilot and they are very strict about eye sight . Thanks
did it take away the pain though?!? i mean it mightve hurt
YEAH IT FUCKIN HURT! I HAVEN’T FELT ANYTHING SO PAINFUL IN MY LIFE!!! >=(
but thats just the 2 shots in the eye, i don’t feel anything during the laser part. =P
The needle hurt but then U felt OK during laser, right? Still eyes R very sensitive
yup! didn’t feel anything during the laser ^_^
Modern excimer Laser surface ablations are totally painless during the procedure as well as in the follow ups. However the vision will recover fully in 3 to 4 days, unlike Lasik where it is few hours. However it is a boon for those with thinner corneas & aberrations.
are you awake when you do the laser???? 0.0
HOW MUCH IT COST??
yeah
from 1000 to 3000 euros
@NasosTheGreat yea you have to be but it doesnt hurt at all
@NasosTheGreat if your in the military the eye surgery is free
@ryaudz if your in the military the eye surgery is free
Today the most advanced treatments for myopia include lenses,eye glasses,exercises (which efficacy has not be proven) and Prk /Lasik.However all those treatments don’t treat the problem( the eye ball)rather they even damage corneal tissues and have side effects such as halos and dry eyes Is there any Research going on that focuses how to get the eye in normal shape?such as genetic therapy or others?People don’t talk about it but all those treatment shouldn’t be consider as the bests and modern

Would a True actual Doctor say do this
i would really like to have an eye surgery for my bad vision. i feel it seems so impersonal to talk to people while having glasses on. its like a wall between the people speaking.
PreOpcom should learn how to spell ophthalmology before they educate someone on eye care.
