PRK or LASIK?
A lot of people are still confused with what type of operation to choose, PRK or LASIK? It is a common misconception to think that one procedure is better than the other medically speaking. They also think that one procedure has a better safety record than the other. What a lot of patients don’t understand is that both PRK and LASIK all depend on the condition of the patient.
To set the record straight, both PRK and LASIK have satisfactory safety records. Although it’s true that some patients would be better off with PRK, it has something to do with their condition. For instance, patients with basement membrane dystrophy are better candidates for PRK.
The best way to make sure though that you will avoid complications is by choosing the most experienced surgeon and the most experienced staff using the latest technology.
