I had PRK a few years ago and would absolutely do it again. Follow the instructions for post-op care and honestly the recovery wasn't too painful or anything like that, you just feel like you have scratchy/irritated eyes a bit. The strangest thing was that before the surgery, everything is blurry but you can make things clearer by putting on glasses or getting closer (nearsighted). After surgery while the epithelial layer is healing everything is equally blurry regardless of distance and your glasses don't work anymore. Within 36-48 hours it was noticeably improved and i'd say completely normal in a week or 10 days. Being able to see clearly before going to bed and first thing in the morning, in the shower/pool/ocean, it's just life changing. I'm sure everyone's experience is different but I would do it again no question.
