I'd like to see some more statistics backing this article, as well as real evidence. Who are the doctors that these people are seeing? Is the survey only finding the population of dissatisfied people?
I got PRK a year ago and have zero issues, and I've also never been sent a survey from NYT asking if I have problems. I know 11 people who got LASIK/PRK and no one has reported issues yet.
There's no way a procedure that causes issues in 50% of cases would be legal in the States.
My eye doctor basically told me that I should never do lasik and should do PRK instead. The risk of complications is WAY lower, even if the recovery is a pain.
