MY HONEST PRK (VISION CORRECTION) EXPERIENCE | The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly!

[@nelliess]

I got PRK too, but the doctors warned me about the pain and the 3 months healing process before and that made me scared. I researched it a lot and only found posts on online journals so I was scared of doing it since no one posted a video explaining their experience. Great that you made one telling us your experience, I'm sure this will make people more comfortable. I had -7.00 in both eyes and now I have completely clear eyesight better than 20/20 (I could read the smallest lines on the eye chart!!) My recovery was smooth, and I was nervous before the procedure but was given a relaxer (which they force you to take) and was fine when I was under the machine shockingly 😂. As for recovery I barely had any pain most was a 3-4 one time, and I only took one painkiller the whole recovery period. I was kinda waiting for the immense pain to hit and it never did thank God. The surgeon was literally shocked. I did have my eyes mostly shut for 4 days, all I could think about was it will be worth it in the end. I also had a huge amount of tears (literally a waterfall)I would open my eye a little and out came a waterfall streaming down my face. But honestly great vision makes it worth everything you go through it's just amazing! My vision has been perfect for over 2 years now! **People have been asking for an update since I posted this years ago it's June 2020 -My eyes are amazing, the best still most perfect eyesight. To be specific I got Custom Wavefront PRK which is basically customized for your eyes, so I don't have any problems at night at all like some people may have after any lasik surgery (halos, starbursts etc). If you can go with a Custom option it's great!

[@firefly-fu3ce]

I'm so scared to get it done. They put contact lenses bandages on at the end so I'm dreading that too as my eyes are extremely sensitive and I get so nauseous with blurry disoriented vision. Im. Wondering is all of this really worth the pain.

[@benten786110]

@@firefly-fu3ce which surgery prk ? and any side effects ?

[@_x1na_]

Hi Morgan... I had PRK done 20 years ago and I remember the healing process to be similar to yours. I lived off lubricating eye drops for a while and I slept with the eye guards on at night for like a couple of months because I wanted to make sure it healed completely. Hardest part was wiping eyes since I was told not to "press" anything on the eyeball - fanning a tissue over the eyes does not absorb tears. LOL. Now that I'm approaching 40, my eyesight has remained great and is only starting now to "age". Hang in there! You're doing great!

[@KriegerO311]

I am about to have PRK and having some second thoughts. When you say your sight is starting to "age" are you just needing reading glasses, or something else? Do you have any other issues or side effects like glares or halos? 20 years ago is awesome! That makes you one of the pioneers! Curious on your thoughts!

[@Gio-ht1ox]

I got prk done about 6 months ago and I'm really happy I did it. The first 2 days or so were awful, the worst is not being able to scratch my eyes. Then it was just a little discomfort for like a week and after that I was seeing like completely clear and all the pain was gone. Totally worth it for me

[@Gio-ht1ox]

@@davidrtrains some myopia and astigmatism are back (about 0.75 and 1.25) so I use glasses a lot of the time, but I still can do almost everything without them (like driving during the day, although I avoid driving at night without them). I did some more specialised exams and it seems that the shape of my eye makes the degree slowly increase, because it distorts the cornea (not so sure about the terms here), but it's slow enough that I've been comfortable without glasses for at least 3 years Still don't regret it and if I ever get back to a high degree such that my insurance covers it again, I would look into doing it again for sure

[@Gio-ht1ox]

@@yashchaudhari7558 for me it was a recovery with no issues, so I'd say it's the best case, but if I remember correctly, I was looking at my phone since day 2 (for shorter periods) and working normally by the end of the week, at most a week and a half

[@TheEmployedTraveler]

I got PRK done too! BEST thing I've done... but it took SEVEN doctors and consultations before I decided to go through with it because I kept getting different recommendations. One of the doctors told me I qualified for ICL(where they place a contact behind your eye) but he didn't tell me I would be at risk for cataracts at 30 years old. I posted a video about my experience too on my channel!!

[@achilleaben4761]

Thank you so much Morgan for sharing your experience. Because thanks to you I got the courage to do the procedure myself. I have right now 11 days since I did it n I have practically 95% of my corrected eyesight if not more. So again thank you thank you thank you Morgan. I love you so much keep up the good work 💕

[@BrianaScribbles]

I have a Lasik appointment set up for September 8th! My eyesight is pretty similar to what yours was. Contacts were -4.50 in my left eye and -5.00 in my right. So excited to finally be able to see without needing contacts or glasses! Glad you're healing up nicely. Wish me luck!

[@Rraina1]

omg what happened

[@BrianaScribbles]

@@Rraina1 Everything went really smoothly. Most expensive 10 minutes of my life. haha But if I remember correctly, they tapped me at 20/15 vision about a week after I got out. I think my right eye is slightly less than that, but not enough to cause any trouble. The paint was minimal, even without painkillers afterward (getting makeup in my eyes hurt worse to be honest), and the whole thing about being able to go back to work the next day is completely true. I took the weekend off, but still. I was absolutely fine by that evening. No problem. The only downside I encountered is that my night vision is a bit worse than before, and lights at night tend to get a bit of a starburst pattern around them. So I'm not really a fan of driving in the rain in the dark. Apparently this is something that tends to go away within 6 months for most people. I'm just one of the unlucky ones it stuck around for. But seriously, it's a pretty minimal downside in the grand scheme of things. Overall, great experience, and a great life improvement investment. :)

I didn't feel a thing - but they did give me T3's and ativan prior to the procedure. While I was recovering, I used the prescription eye drops as instructed and they also recommended other products that ensured your eyes wouldn't dry out (one was like vaseline for your eyes - which I used before going to sleep otherwise it blurred your vision) and the other was moisturising eye drops during the day.

I also had prk on both eyes and I was in so much pain for about two weeks,I was given opiate pain meds the day of surgery and I at first didn't know why I got those and the rest there didn't... After surgery I well understood why. On day two I couldn't even open my eyes no matter how hard I tried due to the pain and my eyelids couldn't open at all They poured tears for about four days. I had to get a prescription eye drop and lube to relax the muscles, numb and lubricated. I felt like I had gritty sand scratching my eyes for almost a two year period every morning I woke up or took a nap. So I ended up having to put a drop of lubricating drops into the corner of my eyes before u could even open them, then had to leave my eyes closed and gently roll my eyes to spread the drops. The only plus side I had from this was my vision was perfect after. After wearing glasses and contacts for almost 19 years prior to surgery it was a blessing to be able to see upon opening my eyes and not having to immediately reach for my glasses. I advise anyone getting prk to really research and get others input on their prk experience before getting it done.

I had PRK last november. And it's the best decision and investment i've done. Both of my eyes are around -7.00. I had moderate pain for 4 days and i wanna say the 3rd day was the worst. I had pain eyedrops prescribed that i can use 2x every hour. So make sure you guys use it if you're planning on getting the procedure. The only prob i have is i still experience some eye tissue tear. Usually when i just wake up and i start moving my eyes. I hope it's normal but i'll def have it checked.

[@nickmaestro]

Thanks for this video. I'm about to have PRK in 4 weeks at the end of August. I'm a school teacher and track coach, with worsening astigmatism. So not having to wear contact or glasses ever again will be incredible. My cornea was too thin for LASIK, so my consultation said PRK. The pain is the only thing I'm concerned about, but I know the end result will be totally worth it. I've also I high pain tolerance. I rarely take pain killers. I think I get some audiobooks to pass the time.

[@gray7585]

[@nickmaestro]

@@gray7585 Hi. My vision is 20/18. Day 2 and 3 of recovery sucked. I would say a 7 out of 10 on pain with a couple spikes into 9. My saving grace were ice cold eye drops and sitting in front of a fan. But it is so worth it if you are considering. 2 to 4 days are discomfort for decades of perfect eye sight. No more eye exams and no more contacts. I’m 36 now, and I should have to start wearing reading glasses well into my 70s.

[@JadeCypher125]

I just got custom LASIK last Thursday. Originally thought I was getting PRK, but my doctor said my test scans showed I was in line to get LASIK. Did your doctor not prescribe you antibiotic drops and anti-inflammatory drops? I've had to take them plus lubricating drops religiously since surgery. Also recommend taking BioTears capsules to help with your dry eye. Getting this done was one of the best decisions I've made. Glad to see you're feeling better :)

I have an astigmatism in one eye and not the other. My price was about the same as well. I refused to look at LASIK stories bc I would've freaked out as well. With LASIK, my recovery was like a 4 hour nap and I was good to go. I could drive the next day. But driving at night too about a month. I was scared as well the every time I was in the LASIK room, but I think it was mostly bc I didn't really know what to expect. I didn't have any pain with LASIK thank goodness. PRK sounds a little more intense. Yikes!

If you have not already done so, try and see an independent ophthalmologist who was not connected with your surgery. Dryness is one of the most common problems. Years on, I suffer from severe dry eyes. It's very debilitating and has a massive effect on my vision. As I said, see someone as soon as you can. They can assess what type of dry eye you have and suggest possible ways to try and treat it.

I still have some occassional dryness but nothing uncomfortable for normal everyday stuff/working, etc. I definitely recommend it if anyone is thinking about it. As Morgan said, research your doctor/surgeon and the risks involved but dont go into too much detail on what the surgery is like cos that may put you off.

Heya. Got PRK done on Tuesday. Hopefully they said I can get my contacts out tomm morning, very early 8:20 appt. Been watching a few of your guys videos. Similar story to you with wearing glasses. My PRK recovery has been very light, in addition to the drops and Vitamin C, I incorporated E and Fish Oil and cold press jucies, especially 🥕 for a hopefully quicker recovery. I almost had my contacts out on Day 3 which is generally the absolute earliest, but it looks like it will be Day 4. Vision is still sorta blurred and that's been my main issue.

@@tri0xin My epithelium is not healing correctly in my left eye. My doctor put me on Muro eye drops and ointment before I sleep. My right eye is nearly perfect. My left eye experienced a slight bit of trauma when the contact bandage was removed and part of my eye tissue came off with the bandage and scratched my cornea somewhat.

[@tri0xin]

@@21DegrassiStreet Hey thanks for the follow, I hope it all clears up for you in the left eye. I'm not too worried but I'm 48 and hoping my healing goes smooth, I've been doing some research and it's looking like the chances of any problems seems to go up with the age of the person. Thanks again

[@21DegrassiStreet]

@@tri0xin No problem. And it's unlikely. One thing I've realized is the information is vastly different from one person to another. Like my bandage was almost out in 4 days, which is very early. I also had no pain at all after PRK. I've had on and off pain during the healing process only really with my left eye. But I was very disciplined with keeping my eyes closed. Make sure you contact your physician if anything comes up you're uncomfortable about and try your best to be very dedicated to following your drops schedule. That's why I got set back, part of the reason. It's because I wasn't using the ointment at night to help close the opening and it was getting re-opened in the morning and I'm basically setting back the healing process. I've had blurry vision for 4 days this week straight, my longest since the procedure. I'm surprised but not at the same time.

[@bethgramkow7865]

Thanks for sharing. My son wants this done but its like 3,000 per eye where we live. There is only one place that does it. Guess Seattle would be cheaper

[@thebeautybreakdown]

You could practically fly down here and back for cheaper than that! Maybe you should look into that?! That way you could squeeze in a little mini vacation :D haha

[@lisaying6299]

Thanks to sharing this! I’m also considering doing PRK, your video is really helpful! 1. I don’t understand when you said that you can only see 90% clearly, is it also happen when you looks very closely to the text or subject? 2. After a year can you feel100%clearly like you had glass before?

[@marcusvonmaximus8071]

I did Lasik and so glad i did it instead of PRK. Screw that junk! Lasik was no pain and vision was corrected as soon as the procedure was completed. No painful recovery and no waiting for corrected vision to come in. Why people do PRK is beyond me. Unless you absolutely have to have PRK only, and you really want the corrected vision, then fine do it. But know the pain is bad and it takes weeks to months for the vision to finally come in right. Lasik is instant and no pain or recovery!

[@Blueskyeyes18]

LASIK has more side effects and it's less stable though.

[@Eunmi24]

So did your have to wear that contact band aid thingy the whole time? Even during the time you sleep?

[@stefphonrose7693]

I'm getting PRK in a months time. Could you please update us on what it was like in the first 6 months? As well as what your experience has been up until now?

[@yuritzicampuzano892]

Thank you for uploading this video going to have this surgery soon and this help so much to know what to expect

[@vicrichards6380]

If anyone is considering getting laser eye surgery, please, please think very carefully. The fact is laser eye surgery is extremely dangerous. I've had it done myself and it has ruined my life. Years on, my vision is the worst it has ever been and I am still in pain. In fact, most people who have told me they have had it done, have also had some kinds of problems, many of them serious and life-changing. Research seems to bear this out, suggesting that the majority of patients have some kind of problems. Please take anything you are told by the companies with a pinch of salt. If you are still tempted, make sure you seek advice from an independent optometrist or ophthalmologist who has nothing to gain by you having surgery.

[@jobbing7642]

I just had lasik on my right eye and prk on my left eye two days ago. My right eye is fine but my left eye is in the painful stage! But your video encouraged me so I’m glad this irritation won’t last long!

[@persieprince9345]

Thomas Topping how are you feeling now

[@jobbing7642]

persie PRINCE I feel great! No more pain. It’s almost been 2 months since the surgery. I think my left eye stopped burning after a week.

[@TinaLiaNguyen]

This video is so helpful!! I've been considering laser eye surgery but I'm scared lol.

[@PeaceFullyCalm22]

Doing mine this Friday! Was wondering if you were able to drive or work after the surgery? Very helpful video. Thank you!

[@Chanelmagic05]

How did it go??

[@luckychant811]

I have a lazy eye (born with it), and started wearing glasses around age 9. My vision is slowly getting worse, and one of my eyes is worse than the other (I don't know the exact numbers) and I've recently seen this one Groupon for 43% off lasik allowing me to get both eyes corrected for about 2000 and as a broke college student (paying out of pocket/working two jobs) that's quite a lot lol but I'm hoping to save up a bit and eventually be able to get a consolidation because if I don't get my eyes corrected I'll eventually go blind (it'll be a few more years I believe but still)! I haven't heard of PRK before your video so I'll have to look into that as well and hope that one day I can get my eyes corrected, hope you make a follow up video on the improvement! Best wishes!(:

[@VenkateshPattamatta]

I have a corneal thickness of 530 microns for both eyes (-6.5 for both eyes and a slight astigmatism on left eye) and the doc said I can go through PRK or even LASIK, but after looking at some videos and interviews all of them are talking about LASIK complications and how it can affect again long term as more corneal tissue is removed when compared to PRK. But PRK has more recovery time and they said it will be 2 weeks but after watching this video and some others who got PRK seem perfectly fine after just a week. My PRK surgery is scheduled on March 28th and I am traveling (to Sydney - 26h flight) on April 20th. So I have the following questions: 1) A little bit confused still whether to go for PRK or LASIK! Can anyone suggest? 2) Just want to know how much do you depend on climatic conditions and on your ophthalmologist? 3) Is there any redness? 4) I am basically very sensitive and more reflexive when it comes to eyes (Rachel type in Friends...haha), even while putting drops I blink as a reflex :D

[@VenkateshPattamatta]

Justin Boss I decided to postpone ny surgery as the schedule was neck to neck

[@GeoWap]

Did u do it

[@BakerFrancine]

Thanks for sharing your experience! I wear contact lenses, -8.50 and -9.00, but I have never gotten up the nerve to see if I'm a candidate for lasik and now I need reading glasses too so I don't know how that would work. Anything to do with my eyes is just scary, but it would be awesome to be able to wake up and see clearly for once! I hope your eyes heal nicely and soon you'll have perfect vision! 😊

[@mdionysus7746]

This is my vision exactly and I'm going in tmw

[@gloriasutton]

@@mdionysus7746 hi how did it go? I have the same vision and I go in for PRK on Monday

[@LifeofJodes]

Just looking at your thumbnail made my eyes water!😵 Looks so painful..😓 But its worth it!😀 x

[@broot6443]

Did I understand it correctly - you had your procedure done in California and then in the same week you traveled to Korea? I'm asking because I have to travel after two weeks of my procedure and I don't know if this is a good idea.

[@TyishaTinkLuvsMakeupChanel]

I want to get my eyes fixed but I have anxiety & I feel like I would have a panic attack while getting my eyes tampered with like that

[@muthusamy9297]

interesting and useful.... waiting for the final vision

[@ninjaahjumma]

This is probably too much to ask, but can you do a meet and greet while you're in Korea? I only ask because I'll be in Korea from July 27th to 29th and I need to get some advice on what I Korean skin care I should splurge on. 😁😁😁

[@the_byron_lee]

What about washing ur face and showering? How u went about it? Also can I use my finger to clean the area where eye buggers accumulate?

[@BillnYou1]

Great presentation of your experience …. I'm having mine done next week. Let us know how your doing now please .. that would be great if you can follow up on this .. thank you for the honest testimony .. hope your doing good!

[@Michieheppner]

Thank you for sharing Morgan!!! I've been realllyyyyt thinking about it and you make me feel better about it. ❤️🙌🏼

[@GingiviticCinemaMaya]

I'm 20 and in about two weeks, I'm going for my first PRK laser eye surgery ever. Wish me luck, I guess.

[@jayzee2634]

Gingivitic Cinema How was it?

[@xXLeAkErXx]

How could you even open your eyes the day after the procedure? It took me 3 days before I could keep my eyes open without them drying out or getting too painful

[@xXLeAkErXx]

Nevermind I kept watching the vid and you said your pain kicked in. It felt like constantly being poked in the eyes for me.

[@amazingghadah5484]

Omg i love you!!!! Thank you so much for this amazing video 😭😭😭😭❤️

[@donovanlee2176]

I was advised that Lasik would not correct my vision. I feel down after my appointment. Can PRK work?

[@BrunaTavaresbnu]

In my case, my eyes burned for about 30 minutes right after the surgery and that was all. I didn't have any pain after that and my eyes didn't swell at all.

[@tri0xin]

Did you have the PRK surgery or the Lasik? It's been 4 years.. still good?

[@NarkisaSofiaGki]

how much painfull was it? i have seen some videos with needles poking out ur eyes and things like that

[@Princess-fz1if]

Great video! Just subscribed!! Could you please briefly mention in your next video an update on your vision. Thanks 😊

[@MonicaRubio]

Morgan, share what lipstick you were wearing! I think we have the same complexion and I love that lipstick

[@doryfrye]

After this procedure are you still dependent on glasses or contact?

[@Benice-y4y]

when did u start wearing eye makeup after surgery ?????????????????????????????????????please reply

[@karlyz7885]

thank you for the video, thinking about the surgery too. How long did it take before your eyes recovered completely?

[@AmbreenK]

I have the same blindness level you had and i find glasses to be a pain. I think some time in the future I want to get a procedure done to correct my vision so I find these videos soo interesting. Were you wearing lenses on today? Your pupils looked quite big compared to how they normally are or is it just me. lol

[@ywkate91]

Will you do an update on your prk experience?

[@htet1906]

How is your vision now? I've PRK surgery appointment next Friday. I'm so scared 😟

[@Cat_Cat_Catto]

Man I'll undergo this surgery on Thursday I'm also so scared.😐

[@phd_angel4192]

Did u do monovision? How is it now?

[@michellegodines521]

The same thing happened to me, have u done 3 month video

[@my2randomcents]

Gonna be honest, my question is, in how much time can you go to the movie theatre?

[@GEEOttv]

How the healing process gone until now? Did you made a video update?

[@KassyLynnRose]

I'm -6.50 and -5.75 and I have an astigmatism! I'm gonna be doing lasik soon

[@marcstrong100]

[@sarakrsticmatovic3569]

Thank you for this video! Can you do an update on how the healing went after this video? Or just write a reply? You are great!

Woah! xD

[@ForeverAmandaxox]

I was -7.75 before my lasik surgery

[@TheDailySerenity]

I'm -9 :(

[@yokamtv7432]

I'm in 7 days now when I had my prk but still blurry vision,hope it's normal

[@saymatattooremovalchannel9264]

I'm -7.9 in both eyes! I'm so blind like really blind without contacts or glasses lol I wish I could afford to get laser, and my DR tells me my eyes are still getting worse so I can't wait until they stop so I can try save up for it. Ohhh it would be nice to wake up seeing :(

[@aggelosn.6846]

You should wait until you're close to 30 years old when it is stabilised for sure. Don't do it before 25

[@aggelosn.6846]

Mohd jazib Khan I mean if you're going to be -8 at 30 years old and you do the surgery early while you're still -6, you're going to get those 2 degrees after the surgery anyway

[@jayzee2634]

Voice Of Reason My eyes stabilized at 16, had the same prescription ever since
