Oops. Too late. By then your appendix has ruptured and you die.

So, you'd try voodoo first. I wouldn't.

No, first you try EVERY OTHER POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE to fix the pain
between navel and hip bone, and ONLY AS THE LAST RESORT you cut the
patient open. (FIRSTLY, TRY TREATMENT WITHOUT HARM. LASTLY, DO HARM IF
EVERYTHING ELSE FAILS ) So applying this to the cure of eyesight,
FIRSTLY, relaxation treatment, LASTLY (or never), laser treatment.

So, if you get pain between your navel and hip bone, don't cut you open
because it might leave a scar?

A real treatment should not require one to heal at all.
"PRIMUM, NON NUOCERE"
FIRST, DO NO HARM.

Not easy to pin down. Everyone heals differently and at different
rates. With PRK, the healing time is generally a few months with some
visual fluctuations during that time.
Best of luck, and enjoy your "new vision".

Hello all,
I was told that my doctor would do PRK on me and was told about the
"longer" healing times. Yes, YMMV, but for someone with a -3 and -3.75,
what would you guess the healing time "should" be?

Thanks

Paula
