Before going to M Lasik I researched several of the Lasik centers in town. I was scared off from Dr. Boothe after reading all the negative press and horror stories, likewise for Carter. After reading several reviews on M Lasik and then researching PRK surgery I decided it was the place to go.\r

PRK excited me since its flapless, the idea of someone cutting my eye just sounded very risky. With PRK I went in, the Dr. buffed my eye with some little device, then applied the laser for 5-10 seconds in each eye. That was it, there was no pain. I hurt the next day, which is supposed to be normal for PRK. Thankfully I was given prescriptions for good medicine and slept most of that day. What I read is the time it takes to full vision is much shorter with PRK. I was seeing decently in 3 days but not as good as my glasses, which took about 1 week. All in all I'm happy to be glasses free with better than 20/20 vision.
