PRK for Thin Cornea and Dry Eye?

PRK uses less cornea than LASIK and causes less dry eye. The outcomes are the same or better. If you are a candidate for PRK and can tolerate the initial discomfort and blurred vision, it is at least as good as having LASIK.

While PRK is preferable over conventional Lasik for those with thinner corneas, newer all laser Lasik surgeries like RelEx SMILE have made laser vision possible for many of those who were advised against conventional Lasik. You could discuss with your ophthalmologist if they offer surgeries like SMILE and if your cornea is suitable for it.
