Which laser vision correction would have less chance of complication such as hazy vision after surgery: Lasik or PRK?

Below are a few points outlining the differences between PRK and LASIKLASIK is usually our procedure of choice, given the quick and painless visual recovery. The safety profile of LASIK has increased significantly since the advent of the femtosecond lasers. Flap complications are very rare.Some patients may not be the best candidates for LASIK, and PRK (flapless lasik) may be recommended. Situations when PRK is preferable include: thin corneas, corneal scars, corneal shape irregularity. Studies show that when you compare the quality of vision 1 month after the procedure, PRK and LASIK result in very comparable, excellent quality of vision.In the past when LASIK was done with mechanical keratomes one had to consider the risk of having a flap complications (LASIK) vs. the risk of possible PRK haze. With the advent of flying spot EXCIMER lasers like the Wavelight Allegretto and use of adjuvants like mitomycin, PRK haze has become very uncommon.

PRK hurts and takes a long time to recover
if you have a high Rx and do a PRK the surgeon must use intraoperative MMC or you might scar
in general LASIK is slightly more risky than PRK bc it involves cutting your cornea open
that's why i now do LASEK, as it has the safety of a PRK and the quick recovery of a LASIK

Although both procedures are overall safe and performed routinely by many refractive surgeons, each procedure has its own indication and its own specific risks. So it would be very difficult to group all the risks that could lead to decreased vision for each of the procedures and compare them as a whole with the other group.
