I’m so glad everything went well and your eyesight is perfect now! On your first PRK video I expressed my anxiousness on my upcoming PRK surgery and you were very encouraging. I’m 3 months post op and am also seeing 20/15!! Definitely one of the best decisions I’ve made. Thank you for posting these videos and being so encouraging! ❤️

[@AsToldByAshandShelbs]

Yay!!! So happy you are doing well! :) Definitely a great decision!

[@keerthipriya7538]

Please tell me did you experience any pressure symptoms in the eye and did you use lubricant gel or lubricant drops

[@irenepellecer5472]

Having my surgery in two weeks and my anxiety was about to make me cancel it. I watched tons of videos and yours helped me the most. THANK YOU

[@AsToldByAshandShelbs]

I’m so glad! Everything will be just fine! Trust me, it will be one of the best decisions you’ve ever made!!

My older sister, Franette, wrote the book on PRK ‘Beyond Glasses’ and followed with her PBS Special with Barry Manilow . I was a participant in the NASA research into RK back in 1980.

I had PRK and it destroyed my vision. It was the worse decision I ever made and it destroyed my life and has destroyed the lives of so many others. I didn’t develop any vision issues until about a year after the surgery. You may be fine now but you can develop vision issues and/or severe eye pain years after the surgery. You are also more prone to all sorts of things like corneal ectasia, detached retinas, early onset cataracts, etc. Even if you don’t develop noticeable symptoms, your eyes are still damaged structurally. The cornea was never meant to be cut open. I wish every single day I could go back and not have it and be able to have perfect vison with glasses and soft contact lenses again. Unfortunately, I can’t go back in time but at least I can warn others about how dangerous these procedures are so maybe they won’t have to suffer like me. Please do not promote these horribly dangerous and completey unecessary procedures. All you’re doing is potentially hurting others by encouraging them to go through with it.

[@ahawkins6081]

hi! I had PRK 3 weeks ago and things are still blurry some days are better than others. Still not perfect vision. How long did it take for you to have clear vision? Thanks!

[@loguify]

Any update.. how is your vision now.. I think all is fine..

[@sharathchandra3918]

Update please

Update please 🙏🏻

[@dsafghan6689]

It’s been 11 months since i did PRK surgery and i still have so much pain in the eye which’s eyesight was more weak than the other, after check up doctor told me that you have no problem in your eye but he prescribed me an artificial tears drop, im using it since a week but still i have same pain 😢

[@SumithKapoor]

PRK is not so great I guess mostly

[@dariushsarkhanzade5229]

How are you now? Please tell me 🙏🏻

[@cristianlobo8948]

Hi, i was thinking about the surgery but i'm scared of side effects, halos, chronic dry eye, like flashes and all that stuff, what did you hear about them? thank you for tell us about this surgery

[@pau.lin.a.y]

Hi! I was also thinking about this surgery and had this same question!

[@englishjourneywithzain9632]

This is a real video.. Thanks for this.. kindly lemme know after how many days did you start seeing clearly and how many days did you avoid water and didn't have bath.. Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz tell me.. Thanks in advance

[@DeadlyRevenged]

What was your visual acuity and what is it now?

[@VeldaE12]

Thank you for the update!

[@gn7866]

You made this video way to long, you could have given a description a lot shorter to get the information out. When you received the correction, what was the process, how long was recovery and how are your eyes now. Do you have to do any surgery after this or is it permanent? The End!

[@laurenciovasquez68]

Thank you. How old were you when you had the surgery?

[@AsToldByAshandShelbs]

25

[@off-roadsd9682]

Do they numb your eyes when taking out the contacts? That’s what I’m scared of....

[@PauloBichara]

They do

[@saeedshebo2920]

How many were your degrees minus?

[@harikumar-hp2hc]

10 days ago I got PRK and everything was going well and my sight was improving in both eyes. A week after I went back and got the contacts removed. My left eye the vision is almost perfect now. The right eye the night they took the contact out felt like sand was in it, it wattered, was hard to open and got blurry. It's been really blurry for the past three days with no improvement. It's almost as bad as before the surgery. What is going on and will it fix itself?

[@ygbodybuilder3023]

Did it fix?

Hari Kumar please reply how is your vision ?

[@aysenurcalis7978]

This is completely normal. What I don’t get is why most surgeons don’t tell you that this could go, on in the worst case for about half a year. At least if they would have told you this, you would be prepared. My surgeon (thank god) told me that this is possible he said that I would have good days where I would have perfect sight as well as bad days where I would see blurry as hell. Since the Epithelium is removed completely with the PRK surgery you have to give your eyes some time (as I said above might as well be half a year) to heal and to recover what has been done. Just be patient and get well soon!

How is your eye dryness now? How much time did it took to go away?

[@AsToldByAshandShelbs]

It's totally fine now! I was still putting drops in every morning for a year just for precaution! It stopped being a problem about 2 months after surgery. Now I have drops just in case, but I rarely use them!
