There is an alternative to Lasik. It is a new generation of PRK. the difference is you dont get a flap in the surgery and instead they burn and take away a layer from the eye.
The type of surgery I had done was TransPRK.
The benefits are less halos, extreme acuity and perfect dark sight.
I have no halos, no dryness and see better in the dark than before.
The healing process takes a bit longer than Lasik. You need to wear a contact lens for two weeks to protect the new layer growing over your eye. During this time your eyesight fluctuates and there is some nausea associated. This was thoroughly explained to me and I had no problems since every day it got better.
On some days I can count leaves on far away trees. Read license plates on cars way ahead of me. I would do it again even if it cost triple.
