What symptoms do you have before PRK?

Dr. Matthew Russell reveals what symptoms you may experience before PRK

The types of difficulties that people have before they choose to go here with PRK is frustration with glasses on a number of different levels and frustration with contact lenses.

They can range from a whole variety of different things: difficulty engaging in and doing day-to-day leisure activities, difficulty with simple things such as being in the rain, walking from a warm environment to a cool environment, glasses fogging up, the irritation and dryness that are quite common with long term contact lens wearing and the daily hassle of having to put them in and put them out and take them out for swimming and those types of issues.

They also feel that with their interactions with other people in social situations or in work, they’re not really being perceived for who they are, that glasses are affecting their image and getting in the way of how they interact in the workplace, in home life, in, in relationships.
