I Have a Contact Lens Rx of -6.5 and -7.0. My Cornea Thickness is 470 and 460 Microns. PRK?

Asked By:sixinchheels in alexandria,va

Am I a good candidate for PRK? I have one opinion of yes but even though I'm a candidate I don't know if I'm comfortable with just making the cut to being a candidate. I don't know what other information to give about my eyes. I was given a rx for mitomycin and told to take vitamin c to help decrease my chances of having corneal hazing. Is this accurate?
