I'm going to undergo PRK eye surgery on Tuesday. PRK differs from Lasik in that it does not include any cutting. Lasik surgery begins with creating a flap in the cornea, which is lifted before the laser surgery and put back in place afterwards. PRK involves scraping away superficial cells in the eye and then performing the same laser surgery as Lasik. Unfortunately, there is a longer healing process for PRK so it may be awhile before I can see clearly.
Everything past an inch from my face is entirely out of focus. I'm ridiculously near sighted, which means I have a long eye and only see clearly when things are extremely close. If I were a film camera, people would think my sight was beautiful/artsy, but unfortunately my eyes are not film cameras and I use them to do things like drive, read, and avoid running into people. I hope for the best - which would be 20/25 vision and the ability to destroy matter with lasers shooting from my eyes.
