Ask HN: PRK worth it and recovery time?
3 by ilovecaching | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I've been looking into Lasik and PRK at 30 now that my eyes have stabilized. I do Jiu Jitsu so the doctor recommended I get PRK instead of Lasik as Lasik leaves a permanent flap that can be damaged by contact sports. My main worry is a bad outcome and the recovery time. I was told I could start working at a computer again 5 days after the surgery when the remove the protective contact. I have a nice job at FAANG and don't want to risk my career or take too much time off after the holidays break. Anyone been in the same situation? What is vision like at 5 days, and can it take longer? Also how is your light sensitivity? Is it harder to look at a screen after the surgery?
