Yes, I am a bit wary, too. I don’t think I would do it unless my sight was so bad that there’s no way the surgery could make it any worse!

It’s great to hear …
It’s great to hear a success story like yours! Unfortunately, many eyes aren’t as stable as yours. This patient’s eyes were great for a while after RK but continued to worsen over time, so further correction was needed.

The corneal flap must be removed so that the laser can etch the cornea directly. In “normal” lasik, it’s put back in place and heals rapidly, but in post RK, the flap is scarred and cannot be replaced, so it has to grow back, a much less comfortable process.
