A member asked:
What percentage of people eventually see 20/20 uncorrected after having prk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very high percentage: The results depend on the starting point. Lower corrections get somewhat better results faster than higher corrections. In general, 90-98% of eyes will see 20/25 or 20/20 or better without correction after PRK surgery.
