I have taken the appointment to hold a place for now, and they fine with any cancellation or rebooking.
In the meantime, I am reading lots on experiences, watching PRK videos online, and doing other research.
I am 26, my eyes have been stable at -1.25 and -1.5 for a long time now, I got my eyes mapped out in August of last year at Gimbel's office, but was rushed to get back to University without allowing for sufficient healing time.
This summer however, I am in a personal hurry to get the procedure now, except that I have my final course to take online on June 24th-August 8th in order to apply for October graduation in Engineering. So in all reality I may be waiting again to get the procedure done in August, as I wanted to give myself atleast 3 weeks to relax after.
Have any of you gotten Lasik or PRK done since 2007? how has it been? Hesla, as an optometrist, has any of your opinions changed since?
Thanks

7-10 days recovery at the most. With your Rx it is likely sooner.
Dr. Kassab is excellent and i would keep the appointment with her.
PRK is safer than ever and it is worth it, at your age, to get it done as you would have 15yrs correction free.
