In this plan
Purpose, Prevention & Protection
- I know PRK may correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism but does not stop age-related vision changes.
- I review the benefits, alternatives, and risks, including pain, dry eye, infection, corneal haze, and vision loss.
- I complete a full eye exam and corneal scan and stop contact lenses for the exact time ordered before my measurements.
- I report all medicines, allergies, pregnancy, unstable vision, dry eye, autoimmune disease, and past eye problems
