Learn the differences between prk and lasik! In this video we review how laser eye surgery works, an overview of the prk procedure vs the lasik eye surgery procedure, the cost of lasik vs prk and some pros and cons.

Prk surgery is a commonly performed eye laser surgery as an alternative to lasik. If you have been considering lasik eye surgery, then you may have heard of prk surgery and wondered about this form of laser eye surgery procedure. Although both of these eye surgeries have very similar results in visual recovery, prk requires a longer recovery time vs lasik. In addition, there are several other factors to consider between lasik vs prk. This video briefly discusses how corneal thickness, dry eyes and cost of the procedures may influence which procedure you go with.
