The rates of people getting PRK compared to LASIK seem to be raising.

I wonder how much of that is PRK vs. ASA?

It seems that ASA is a wide term for methods of moving the epithelium and replacing it after the procedure. I had this with one of my treatments. It is far more pleasant. It makes sense that it is growing in popularity.

I'm very doubtful about the presented figures there. The author clearly has an agenda and does not present any sources. Additionally it is completely missing ReLEx/KLEx (SMILE etc) methods which afaik are pretty popular.

Wait, you can get PRK more than once?

I had it done about fifteen years ago. My vision was perfect for a decade, but now I'm back in glasses.

PRK recovery was certainly uncomfortable, but I'd gladly do it again for another decade without glasses.

> Wait, you can get PRK more than once?

Yes, if the ophthalmologist messes up. Sadly!

My opthalmologist told me I had enough corneal thickness to get PRK done again if I wanted.

As of two years ago it was the preferred option at moorfields eye hospital private eye clinic. The caveat being the slightly longer recovery period.
