[quote=Anonymous]I can't find the link, but one of the commissioners on the FDA when LASIK was first approved said that they were always under the impression that the flap the surgery created would heal. Then it became clear that the flap never really heals all the way, the nerves and blood vessels don't reconnect, and this is the source of a lot of the complications when they happen. He said that if he knew then what he knows now about the rates of complications he wouldn't have voted to approve the procedure. I wanted laser surgery at one point, but reading about the possibility of complications from LASIK terrified me. I ended up getting laser PRK. The recovery time is longer and more uncomfortable, but the outcomes are just as good or better, and your eye will completely heal afterwards. I was pretty uncomfortable for about four days afterwards, and didn't get a lot done at work that first week, but I'm also a big baby. Years later I'm super happy with the outcome. [/quote]
