A member asked:
I found out that i can't have the lasik procedure but would i be able to have the prk procedure, what do you recommend?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PRK Alternative: Prk can be an alternative for some patients who are poor candidates for lasik. For some patients, however, neither procedure may be appropriate. Implantable collagen lenses are another common alternative. Ask your surgeon which, if any, procedure is best for you.
