Corneas are too thin. PRK is an option, but I'm scared of the pain,
and with only a 50/50 chance of seeing 20/20, I don't see it as a
good risk. Might be good for someone who just wants to be able to
drive without glasses, but too risky for someone (me) who holds a
second class medical.


But would the PRK not pring your unaided vision up to the point where it
could then be corrected to 20/20 with glasses?
