Had PRK treatment on both eyes on January 10th. My prescription was -2.5 in both eyes. I did suffer allot of discomfort for the first 36 hours, I was almost blind for that time, and there was a lot of pain. Thankfully the pain killers did do a good gob. Within 2 hours I could see pretty good with 1 eye. 7 days later and my 1 eye was perfect and the other eye was the SAME as it was before I had the surgery. By now I was very worried...but thought I would wait for my after care in 3 days time. Woke up on day 8 and...well it was a miracle, I could see clearly in both eyes !! It all seems worth it now. The only downside to Optimax was the doctors seemed very un-sympathetic and did rush the consultation and after care. The thing to remember here is everyone heals differently, some people only take a day or two to have their perfect sight. It took me almost 9 days, so hang in there you guys and girls...try not to worry (easier said than done !!) Mail me any questions - glad to help
