A member asked:
Could dry eye affect prk surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It can affect it in a couple of ways. The testing that is performed during the evaluation is used to determine the amount of laser treatment necessary. This can be skewed with dry eye. Also, dry eye is generally worse after the procedure and this can affect healing and your vision outcome. If the dry eye is significant, your eye doctor will want to treat that PRIOR to PRK. Good luck.
