This condensed video shows a PRK Lasik eye surgery using a radial knife to cut the “flap”. Because the patient had previously had RK surgery, the flap had to be completely removed (due to scarring) rather than laid back into place as in typical PRK. The full procedure is generally painless and took only 9 minutes. This video is shortened even further to keep it interesting, however, all steps in the surgery process are still included. The music is “St. Thomas” by Technician.

It’s great to hear …
It’s great to hear a success story like yours! Unfortunately, many eyes aren’t as stable as yours. This patient’s eyes were great for a while after RK but continued to worsen over time, so further correction was needed.
The corneal flap must be removed so that the laser can etch the cornea directly. In “normal” lasik, it’s put back in place and heals rapidly, but in post RK, the flap is scarred and cannot be replaced, so it has to grow back, a much less comfortable process.
I had RK 20 yrs ago …
I had RK 20 yrs ago and my eyes are still fine. RK seems a of a lot easier then lasix my surgery took 3 secs an eye why did you have your cornea removed?? did your RK need redoing later? i still have 2020 but i got glasses anyway as i want my vision as sharp as possible 2020 is not good enough i think/
Yea, they DID cover …
Yea, they DID cover that, but not in great detail until pre-op on surgery day. It DOES grow back after a while (1-2 months or so) but is pretty uncomfortable during that time.
so you didnt know …
so you didnt know that they where permenatly gonna take it off!?!??!?!
Yes there was …
Yes there was plenty of discomfort… There is also a BIG difference in recovery time between post RK removal vs. the “normal” Lasik flap-replacement style that most people get. Definitely do your research before signing up for this!

Sorry people. Watching this video made my eyes get all teary and red. I cringed and gasped through the whole thing. I cant even imagine putting something like those on my eyes. Contact lenses scare me soo much. Cant put it in my eye. it always closes.
