Post-RK Lasik Eye Surgery (short version)
By
Description: 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. More music …

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 and my eyes are still fine. RK seems a hell 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 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 that they where permenatly gonna take it off!?!??!?!

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!

face…palm… it was a joke thats why i got 2 thumbs up because, in true joke form i played on the fact everyone was like “eww that looks like cum” and made a subtle remark upon the fact.
if you really thought i was being serious, especially with the “:P” i put at the end then i feel sorry for your parents.

You think that was semen? wtf? your retarded. and if that was a joke, your retarded.

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.

thanks for this interesting video,i always thought the cornea was hard..but after waching it look so soft..

December 20th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
Hahahaha now THAT’S funny! Ironic isn’t it? After all that work, they just drop in a contact! XD
December 20th, 2009 at 6:31 pm
you dont have to go to laser surgeons to get cum in your eye!
December 20th, 2009 at 6:48 pm
haha, its all a lie, they just stick in a contact lens at the end!
December 20th, 2009 at 7:36 pm
Yea, it kinda gives me the creeps, too!
December 20th, 2009 at 8:22 pm

December 20th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
Yes, I am a bit wary, too. I don’t think I would do it unless my sight was so bad that there’s no way the surgery could make it any worse!
