Best Decision EVER! - TLC Albany, NY

Had my PRK custom front wave surgery done on both eyes beginning of June. The surgery was quick and absolutely painless. I did not have pain at any point afterwards, not even the predicted feeling of scratchy eyes from the contacts. They felt fine all the way.
I am healing super good and after six weeks I was at 20/20. I was not able to read fine print for about four weeks and the eyes would quickly get tired, but a little nap and eye drops always did the trick.
I would do it in a heartbeat again. I am healing picture perfect, everything goes after plan and I am expected to be at 10/20 in four weeks. No halo, no glare, no pain at any point. Love my new sight and you could pay me good money, I would not want to go back to wearing glasses!

I wore glasses for 30 years and was nearsighted. - 3.75, - 3.5 and Astigmatismn. PRK took care of my nearsightess and the Astigmatismn.
I did everything the doctor told me to do and everything went so smooth. I did not have any pain, not even the slightest headaches and I was only for one day light sensitive, but wearing sunglasses indoors and laying on the couch took care of it. I only had minor eyelid swelling which improved within hours.
After the surgery I did not see sharp and I did not have the "oh wow, I can see! " moment.
The first four weeks small print was kind of tough, PC work tired your eyes really out but you see constant improvement. I only took twice two steps back for a day and then it went forward again.
All in all it was a really cool progress to witness and every day is exciting. Was and still is.

I was a candidate for Lasik AND PRK but Lasik was never on my mind. I would not have done Lasik and I don't regret my decision at all.
This is seriously the best thing I have ever done and it really "is" life changing! I love every day with my new vision and I am so grateful for it.

The surgery really was not bad and not worth the anxiety before and trust me, I was a chicken too. There is really nothing to it.
Listen to the instructions of the doctor before, during and after surgery, have a good attitude and rest some afterwards and you will be fine.
I did not need any assistance at home at all. I am happy to answer questions if there are any.

I wore the protective contact lenses for four days and I swear, these were the most comfortable contacts I have ever worn! I did not feel it when the doctor put them in after surgery and they felt sooo smooth. They never got dry or itchy. My epithelium was closed again after four days.
