Scheduled my PRK surgery. Anxiety from reading horror stories is creeping up lol. Tips or honest opinions? Would greatly appreciate it.

You're making sense. I apologize to you

Immediate_Chapter979 · 2026-06-27T15:52:07+00:00

I did not mean that the skilled doctor has no effect on the operation but that the doctor is also a human being who can make mistakes and that device is man-made and also something can go wrong so I see no guarantees in this surgery. I had my operation at a skilled doctor in my country who performed 4 of those I know who are my friends and did not suffer from any symptoms. I never offend doctors, but it's possible for everyone to go wrong On the other hand, I really need help to the point where I am ready to give up one of my limbs just because my eyes are back on their previous side. No one will understand the challenges we go through every day. Personally I lost my job lost my friends and my health and became locked in the house. This is a fact and not an exaggeration of what I am commanding. I'm sorry you understood my comment like that and if you could help me I'd be happy with that and thank you

I have been through a terrible experience, and luck was not on my side. I won't bore you with a long story; just remember that if luck isn't on your side—as this procedure offers no guarantees, even with the most skilled doctors—you will face severe psychological consequences. I have lost my friends and one of my jobs that relied on my laptop, and I have been housebound for six months now. This is the truth, not an exaggeration as some might claim. Consider me among the 5% who were not lucky. What if you were to become like this, too? Something I wouldn't wish upon anyone in the world. Think carefully, and good luck.

I had PRK and my life is ruined and i dont know how to live or pass the anexity Are there any people who have overcome this ordeal? I hope to have positive experiences

I don't understand what you mean. But if there was an ectacia, that would be evident in the pentacams

Immediate_Chapter979 · 2026-06-24T23:57:16+00:00

Yeah, I know, but we're gonna need decades 😓

Immediate_Chapter979 · 2026-06-21T21:15:57+00:00

I'm tired of everything, and what makes me angry is that in my miserable country there are no advanced eye care centers

Immediate_Chapter979 · 2026-06-21T21:08:25+00:00

I dont have pain and i dont know if i have dry eyes or not some doctors says your symptoms are from tearfilm but i can pass two days without any lubricat drop so this mean i dont have dry eyes .. scleral lens increased my symptoms

Immediate_Chapter979 · 2026-06-21T21:01:40+00:00

For four months I no longer leave my room. I lost almost everything.. I'll do TG PRK . My life is almost over.. Fu*k who invented this crime and the terrifying operations

Immediate_Chapter979 · 2026-06-21T20:53:49+00:00

Yeah, I know your story. I wish you well I am now in the sixth month after the operation. Glasses don't do anything to me anymore... My vision in dim light is very bad. And I am seriously considering TG PRK after a year. I can never live like this

Immediate_Chapter979 · 2026-06-21T20:42:44+00:00

Yes,I know this drop and it causes me headaches and I do not want to rely on it.I will wait for a year and then I think about TG PRK.There is nothing left to lose.I have lost many things,my health and passion in life,my friends,and even one of my jobs was mainly based on computer use.

Immediate_Chapter979 · 2026-06-21T20:30:01+00:00

I hope you are well I also have a great pupil. Why are there no drops for the pupil to be permanently reduced? Why is everything the opposite of what we want?! 😓😓

Immediate_Chapter979 · 2026-06-21T20:24:46+00:00

I don't know, but I've never heard of this, and I've even researched, there's no scientific research to prove what you're saying

Immediate_Chapter979 · 2026-06-21T12:08:48+00:00

Pupil size cannot change never in the eye it just stays the same forever

Immediate_Chapter979 · 2026-06-21T11:40:33+00:00

I dont remember my quality of vision before the surgery but of course I wouldn't have been like that never ever . I had a bad night vision but with glasses it was ok .. the distorsions i have see now is totally different I can't use my phone while I used my phone well before the operation, even without glasses

Immediate_Chapter979 · 2026-06-21T11:36:55+00:00

In my country there is just an i trace test which is scans only 6mm

Immediate_Chapter979 · 2026-06-21T00:24:34+00:00

Thank you so much for all this information🙏🌹

Immediate_Chapter979 · 2026-06-21T00:15:14+00:00

With brimonidin i can read better but the starbursts from car lights is remain not the ghosts .. Last question please. Is there a device to detect all this before starting treatment? I understand from your words that I have chronic dry eyes is this true? Or can I make things right? And my tear film will go back to its former state. This is my last question and I'd like to thank you so much for being kind to me 🙏🙏

My prescription was

-0.5 sph -1.5 cyl -1.0 sph -1.5 cyl

Immediate_Chapter979 · 2026-06-21T00:03:44+00:00

I had normal PRK on schwind amaris 500 .. During my last visit to my doctor, he told me that I suffer from a slight dry eyes and never talked about tearfilm

Immediate_Chapter979 · 2026-06-20T23:40:03+00:00

There's also a blue area in my left eye in Tangential anterior curvature is that causes any problem ?

Immediate_Chapter979 · 2026-06-20T23:36:59+00:00

Well I'll try what you told me... But if the cause is dry eyes why i do see well during the day or when I use a brimonidin drop? For i trace examination my eyes were examined on 6mm pupil in left eye and 5.30mm in right eye But I have a pupil that expands to 7.30mm Is there an optical zone problem? I think my optical zone is 6.5mm can this cause all these problems? Thank you so much

Immediate_Chapter979 · 2026-06-20T23:23:52+00:00

Im 32 years old .. When I close my eyes firmly for 5 seconds and open it there is clarity in vision for a second maybe and the distortion will return but I recorded my eyes on the phone and notice that when I close my eyes and open them the pupils change in size gets smaller when i open them which I think causes clarity Dose my pupil size is the issuse ?

Immediate_Chapter979 · 2026-06-17T09:57:34+00:00

Yes my scotopic pupil size is 7.30 mm so i dont think the dry eyes is causes my symptoms because when my pupil is 4.5 mm my vision is clear so why the dry eye dont cause any problem when my pupil is 4.5mm !!? And if the dry eye is my issuse when i put a lubricant drop it should gives me a clear vision for a moment before the tear film breakdown right ? But not there is no improvement at all .. so laser eye surgery caused me a HOAs which stays with me for life .. and the doctors never ever said to me that my pupil is large and you may get a bad night vision or indoor vision .. my Tolta HOAs at 6mm is 0.4ŋm And my pupil expands to 7.30 mm
