I went in for a LASIK consultation and PRK was recommended for me. So I did what everyone does, I immediately googled PRK to get the experiences of others. I relied on that for my prep so I wanted to share my experience. Also there were a ton of super scary experiences. I might have been lucky but my experience was really great. I wanted to balance some of the scary with a really positive, relatively easy recovery story.

Day 2
I woke up today was super dry eyes at like 6 am. Every time I woke up
overnight (I think only once) I put Systane drops in. I did two sets of drops
first thing bc my eyes needed it. Back to sleep for 2 hours. My eyes were less
dry the second wake up. Put some Systane in then off to make breakfast. No
sensitivity to light yet. I put prescription drops in during breakfast,
gotta keep that up. I also took my vitamins, doing all I can to jump
start the healing here! Then back to the dark room. I had slight pain as
I was falling asleep last night. It felt like right around the contact
edge so I guessed that my epithelium was slipping under the contact.
Took 200 mg of ibuprofen and it was better. Took an acetaminophen when I
woke up middle of the night and another ibuprofen when I woke up at 6.
Just in case. I wanted to get ahead of it. No pain when I woke up at 8
am. Yay!!! Boring day - no pain, eyes closed, rigorous with my drops.
Took one ibuprofen heading to bed with slight throbbing but really that
was preventative just in case.
