    I and others went through with PRK over Lasik due to the flap issue. They basically grind down the front of your eye flat and then zap your eye with the laser and put a bandage contact in. The new cells grow under the contact and the contact is removed after 3 days. If you have an astigmatism, you will most likely have to do PRK. My wife had it done last year. I've had it done twice and may have to go for a third as old age is causing a vision shift.

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
