Photorefractive keratotomy
This was the vision correction procedure done on my eyes in 2003. PRK is different than Lasik in that a layer of the cornea is scraped away instead of flapped open. The flap procedure generates a significant increase in eye pressure, which my doctor felt was not justified.

PreOp® Patient Education Opthamology: PRK Laser Eye Surgery
http://www.PreOp.com
Patient ED @ 617-379-1582 INFO
Your doctor has recommended that you undergo Photorefractive Keratectomy - or PRK Laser surgery - to correct a vision problem. But what does that actually mean?
The human eye is constructed like a camera ...with a clear lens in the front and light-sensitive tissue at the rear. This tissue makes up the retina which acts like photographic film.
In an eye that has perfect vision, light rays passing through the pupil are focused by the lens to fall precisely at the center of the retina. There are many common problems that can affect the eye and prevent light rays from focusing properly on the retina.
Three of these problems, myopia - or nearsightedness; hyperopia - or farsightedness; and astigmatism can often be corrected or reduced with the use of PRK laser surgery.
Myopia, or nearsightedness, occurs when the shape of the eye is too long or the curve of the cornea is too extreme. In this case, light rays are focused on a point in front of the retina - instead of on the retina itself.
Hyperopia, or farsightedness, occurs when the shape of the eye is too short. In this case, light rays are focused on a point behind the retina.
Astigmatism occurs when the cornea is unevenly curved,
causing light rays to fall off center or not to focus properly at all.
In either case, PRK laser surgery can be used to flatten all or part of the cornea ...allowing your doctor to cause the focal point of light entering the eye to fall more closely to the center of the surface of the retina.
PRK is a simple and nonintrusive procedure that is designed to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses. PRK laser surgery generally does not have any effect on a patient's overall health and there are no risks in choosing not to have the surgery.

LASIK MY Left eye
LASIK is the acronym for Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis, a type of refractive laser eye surgery performed by ophthalmologists for correcting myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.[1] The procedure is preferred to photorefractive keratectomy, PRK, because it requires less time for the patient's full recovery, and the patient feels less pain, overall. Many patients choose LASIK as an alternative to wearing corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses.

The Fladen Eye and Lasik Center: PRK
Dr. Todd Fladen, Medical Director of The Fladen Eye and Lasik Center, in Canton, Ohio performs PhotoRefractive Keratectomy (PRK) Laser Vision Correction Surgery for the correction of Nearsightedness (Myopia) and Astigmastism.
This procedure is unedited.
It begins with placing a solution in a central well on the surface of the cornea for 45 seconds. This solution allow easy removal of the cornea surface cells or epithelium; thereby exposing the cornea basement membrane.
The eye is flushed with saline prior to the next step.
The laser is then centered on the pupil and 20 seconds of painless laser light is used to reshape the cornea.
A contact lens is placed on the cornea surface for several days.
In this procedure, no flaps either mechanical or with a laser are required.
