I have farsightedness with 4.25 in my right eye and 5.00 in my left eye. I wanted LASIK but the doctor recommended PRK because my left cornea is too thin for LASIK. I've heard PRK is really painful and takes longer to heal are there any other better options for me? Is surgery the only way to fix my vision? Also, I'm studying for competitive exams but get eye strain really fast, which makes it hard to focus. What can I do to manage this?
While PRK is a valid option for farsightedness, especially with thin corneas, it's important to explore all available options. Other surgical options like SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) or ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) might be better suited for your needs, and your doctor should be able to explain if these are suitable for you. Managing eye strain during intense study periods is crucial, and techniques like the 20-20-20 rule, regular breaks, and adjusting screen settings can help.
