Life Changing PRK Eye Surgery - What I Learned in 3 Weeks! 

Thanks! I was pretty disappointed when I looked up prk videos before the surgery, so I decided to make my own haha

I really appreciate that man! I hope your PRK journey goes smoothly! You got this!

How’s your eyes after 2 months? Still hazy?

I haven’t checked with a doctor yet. I see things very clearly and sharp, no pain, but my eyes are still dry, less haze.

Congrats! I hope the surgery goes well! I’ll be praying for you, you got this 🙌🏾🙌🏾

That means a lot. Thank you! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Glad it helped! I’m actually releasing my 1 year review experience this week of PRK! Stay tuned for that video! And I hope your recovery goes well!

@@nyarinyax Thank you!

@@1stdibbs428how has the recovery for you been going?

🤣🤣 this made me laugh so much haha. I feel all that pain!! Day 3 had me questioning everything in existence but now it’s such a blessing to look back on. Eye sight is such a gift. Waking up and not searching for glasses is such a gift. Not buying contacts is such a gift! I wish you the best! And I pray the recovery goes well! You got this!

You’re welcome! I’m glad it helped!

Hey i just did my prk surgery too. It has been 5 days but my vision is still hazy (cant see past my phone). My phone has to be really close also . And from day 1 the vision havent improve. I have astigmatism -1.75 -2.25 right left eye. How is your recovery bro ? Like how long it took for you to see better?

You got this in the bag!!!

Glad it helped! Hope the recovery goes well for you!

Thank you! It’s very up and down at the moment!

Sheeesh I feel your pain. I remember being right where you are! I’d say my eyes were fully adjusted at the 9 month mark. But at the same time, I was blessed. By the 2 month mark my vision was good and the only things I was really struggling with was dry eyes, random pains here and there, and sensitivity to light. By the 6 month mark most of all complications were resolved And as of right now, my eyes are doing well. I don’t really have any issues that I can think of. Of course they could be better, but coming from how bad my vision was at the beginning, I have no complaints haha And I have a 1 year review video on my channel that would probably answer a good bit of your questions! You got this!!

😢 it’ll get better I promise!! Hang in there!!

Glad to hear it!!

Haha I totally understand. The first few days I was convinced I was allergic or had covid, but when it finally clicked that it was the drops it was fine. I haven’t really heard anyone on RU-vid talk about the after taste 🤷🏾‍♂️

You got this! Glad it helped!

^^^ so so true

That’s awesome! l’m glad it was helpful! Let us know how it goes!

@@nyarinyax Hey! Completed 10 days after surgery. Lens removed yesterday but can't see properly....looks everything blur. Please share ur experience too

I definitely remember the steroid drop burning for the first few days or so. It would definitely always make me clench my eyes and blink rapidly to reduce the sting, but I think I got used to it pretty quickly

Nope! No tired eyes or anything like that. Every once in a while I’ll feel something random and be confused at what I just felt, but other than that I have no issues. Couldn’t recommend the surgery enough!!

Hey! I bought an ice eye mask and that got rid of my headaches and itchy eyes. It’s just a gel ice pack that’s in the shape of an eye mask. I’m sure you could just use a regular ice pack or something like that. But I would put it on my face for about 15 minutes or so every couple hours. Made a HUGE difference Other than that, time is your biggest friend. Eye drops are helpful so carry them on you as you go. Try not to rub your eyes too much, and make sure you’re wearing sunglasses

Haha you got this bro

I don’t remember off the top of my head, but If you go to the video before this one “things to do before prk” I believe it’s called it should have it there. Should be one of the first things I say

Interesting! I never thought it might be a side effect of the drops. Thanks for the info!!

I’ll be posting an update video on Monday! Stay tuned!!

@@nyarinyax hero 🙌

Hey! I’m actually hoping to post a new updated video within the week that will answer questions such as these. But to keep it short, I did have focusing issues, but they stopped with time. For me, it was more with closer objects. I could look at my phone and my vision would be blurry, then I’d have to concentrate to find focus again. If I needed to look far away quickly, I would also have issues. I think it’s just because I was using muscles I had never had to use before. I’m confident the same is for you, and thus it will just take time for your eyes to adjust. As for night vision, it’s definitely not as clear as the day time, but I am able to function well. I’d say it feel about the same as pre surgery in the sense of my astigmatism and what not

So to be fully honest, the pain is only part of the problem. The bigger issue is that it’s your eyes. So you can’t function at all. I’ve had pain that physically hurt more, but I was able to force myself to function throughout the day. But with this pain, it’s almost impossible to distract yourself from it because you can’t see. It feels like there’s sand in your eye, or little hairs everywhere. It makes your eyes water, but you can’t take any of them out. And if light hits your eyes during the healing, the pain increases (this is only my experience. Others did not feel this at all) I think I used Tylenol for pain, but like I said, it’s such a specific feeling, I’m not sure if the pain killers actually helped. Because they wouldn’t fix a hair being in my eye

That’s awesome! You’re blessed for sure! Glad it all went well! Happy recovery

How are you feeling now please reply

How are you feeling. I'm about to have mine on 6th..

​@@AlexDoesBizDamn bro good luck with them thick ass lenses,that shit keeps u awake at night

Koi dikkt nhi h 2 weeks clear ho jata h my experience

@@zamzamagency786 tera kitne time me clear ho gya tha... Mera bhi achha hua fir ab dhundla ho gya hai... Aaj 19 day chl ra hai trans prk ke baad

I talk about it in the video, but you can see, it’s just painful. I was able to walk out of the appointment and find the car with no problem, but your eyes are so sensitive to light and other things that it’s very hard to open your eyes. So I would say yes, you can see. But no, it is not very clear, and it is not easy to use your eyes right after (atleast for my experience)

what's ur update?😢

Just posted an update video on the channel!

You’ll just have to force yourself to have the discipline to not touch them. But also, you’ll find that rubbing them won’t make them feel any better. Knowing this will help you keep your hands away Don’t be scared. You’ll be fine and in the end it’ll be worth all the discomfort you may go through!

The recovery is different for everyone. Some people get clear vision the next day, other people take multiple months. Just make sure you’re doing what the dr is saying and your body will heal on it own time!

What about now. Is it good now. Have u got ur clear vision???

consider Smile method also

Yup you’re right. Just posted an update video on the channel!

how are you feeling now

How are you now? Did things get better?

Just posted an update video on the channel!

@@nyarinyax thanks I’ll listen to it tomorrow on my drive. I’m having PRK in 2 weeks 😱

It sounds like it’s either because your eyes are getting tired from being used all day, or because your straining muscles you’re used to not using when night time comes. But I remember having similar issues a month in. I don’t think I stopped feeling that until about the 2-3 month mark

Heyy! Any update? I got my surgery done last week and currently I am experiencing the same thing. I have a better vision during the day and blurry as it gets darker outside

Everyone’s body heals differently. My biggest advice would be to not compare your journey with others. Just do what the DR is telling you to do, get rest when you can, and you’ll be better before you know it!

​@@nyarinyaxI have double vis😢 and ghost vision after 3 months of surgery is it fine will it be cured

@@kampallyroja5960Co I’m nearly 3 months and experiencing the same especially in bright light 😪 anybody experienced this and got better?

Hey. I’m not sure what you’re asking, but if you check my most recent prk surgery video I explain when my eyes were seeing clearly

@@nyarinyax ok bro

You’ll be fine! I can’t lie and say it didn’t hurt, but the pain passes, and ultimately it’s well worth it

How is your vision doing? I’m on day seven. I had a follow up with my doctor today. I am still seeing double. Not as bad as a few days ago, but I think it’s getting better.

@@spartagomez5588hey guys i had trans prk 3 weeks ago… it gets better with the time dont worry

My eyes are great now. I can see from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep. I don’t have dry eyes or irritation. Every once in a while I’ll run my eyes too hard and I’ll have sharp pain for split second and then it goes away. And if I’m very tired and I’m a dark area, my vision will be a little hazy until I close them for a second or two, but after that I’m fine again. Your eyes will get better with time. Just have to patient and follow the Drs instructions

@@Thecoolcjay thanks for the kind words. I am on day 15. It’s definitely getting better, but sometimes my vision fluctuates.

I'm on day 11. Stil blurry. How many days did it take for you to get a clear vision?

Depending on your eyes, some people aren’t eligible for lasik. There’s another video on my page that explains this if you’re interested

Haha faccttttsss😂. Wasn’t no laughing during the pain but now I love talking about it 😂 Glad you made it through 🙌🏾🙌🏾

I don’t know why they call it a bandage contact, it’s literally a normal soft contact haha. I was thinking it was this elaborate device that I had to be very careful with, but it’s just a normal contact But yes they used it. And don’t be nervous. The operation is quick, and the difficulties of recovery are well worth it! I hope it goes well!

@@nyarinyax right! Haha I just read it helps out with pain some so I wondered if you had that. I’m looking forward to it. Sick of contacts and glasses just nervous 🤙🏻

Hopefully everything went well for you? I have to say my experience was completely different from Nyarinyax. I hardly had any pain, I didn't use any of the painkillers. I was slightly more sensitive to light, but it was fine with sunglasses. Everyone is different, you'll be fine 😊

Got it done, second am was rough because I slept all night and didn’t do any drops or anything. Everything was dry. But once I got that straightened up everything is good. This is day 2

PRK is quite dangerous for long term...

I don’t think so. Your eyes will heal at different paces. And that time frame is different for everyone. Some might take 3 weeks, others might take 3 months. Just continue to use your drops, and follow any instructions your doctor has given you!

Same problem with me it's 5 days today. Plzz tell how is it for you now

​@@tussharagrawal111same issue for me

​@@tussharagrawal111atleast to see difference atleast 3 months to recover,do you see double vision and ghost vision

Hey! Congrats on the surgery! Everything is normal now. I had trouble seeing at night before the surgery because of my astigmatism, but it’s significantly better now after the surgery for me. Every once in a while it’ll be a bit hazy at night, but nothing that’s limiting my ability to see efficiently. I’d equate it to looking through a car windshield that’s perfectly clean vs having a few bugs on it. I can still function exactly the same, you just notice a bit of unclarity. The only thing I have noticed about a lot light is that I have a time frame where I can look at bright light. For example, if I’m driving and someone has very bright headlights that shine into my eye, I only have a few seconds of being able to look at them directly before I get sharp pain. Before the surgery it would make it hard to see and I would say “ow” because it’s bright. But now, if I look too long at the same light I feel sharp pain in my eye. Obviously this isn’t a terrible issue to have because most people don’t look into bright lights haha. But it’s just something I noticed. Good luck with the recovery!

@@nyarinyax Thank you! Today when I was driving home after gym it was very difficult. Like a camera when you have low light. I hope this will get better. Before surgery I always had lenses on my dioptrie was -7.5. After surgery everthing looks very sharp espescially after the eye drops its like playing computer game on very high haha. Wish you the best for your chanel keep on going. Greetings from Germany

How is ur vision now. Is it cleared??? Did u got ur clear vision

@@tussharagrawal111 Yes it tooks about 3 month after I get another eyedrops the sight gets better and better at night.

How is your night vision now ? ​@@UltrAslanAvrupa90

How is your vision now getting better

How is your vision now?

My vision was clear after 3 month dont't worry ;)

Same with me.. I'm on day 20

My vision is also blurry after one month of prk surgery

Haha It’s on the way I promise! I’m rendering the intro as we speak

​@@nyarinyax Thank you! I'm waiting ;)

@@UltrAslanAvrupa90 the video is being uploaded now. Once the quality reaches 4k I’ll make it public!

Incase you didn’t see, i posted the updated video on the channel!

What kind of trade offs?

@@nyarinyax bad vision at night, needing reading glases

@@ygbodybuilder3023Bad vision at night has nothing to do with it - if you get a proper SmartSurface tPRK with a big radius, there should be a problem after 6 months. You don’t need glasses for reeding. If you are already 45+ everybody needs glasses for reeding but not because of this correction.

I had whichever one uses the laser. I have another video on my channel that I domains the exact process of what they did if you’re hoping for some more insight! It should be the video posted a few weeks before this one

@@nyarinyax so this one involved any cutting of the cornea or just laser?

@@yousufmohammed5705 just the lazer. There was no cutting or tearing involved

haha yeah I get that a lot. They're both like that. Double jointed since the womb haha

That’s just my thinking face haha. There’s no way I could ever see the screen on my camera 😂😂 But when I was recording this video (3 weeks out) my vision was still pretty blurry

I wasn’t diagnosed with it, but my dr did talk about how elongated my eye was which would cause problems with lasik.

@@nyarinyax you mean ur cornea

@@francissemazzi1530 yes yes my cornea

@@nyarinyax that’s basically keratoconus. I wear special contacts in both my eyes because of the disease. With my left eye even with the contact I don’t see that good. So I’m going to talk to cornea doctor next Monday about if I’m a right candidate for PRK. Did u use to wear contacts but u don’t any more?

@@francissemazzi1530 correct. I wore contacts in both eyes. For a while I was wearing hard contacts to help with my eye issues (sounds similar to your situation) and then because of sports I switched to soft contacts. And now, post surgery, I wear neither

😂😂 boooooooo

Hey! That feeling is fully gone now. My eyes will feel tired like they would with anyone else, but nothing further

@@nyarinyax cool thank you so much for replying to me! My eyes never feel tired and I get this feeling only with contacts - however, I hate contacts from the first second I put them in. It's like a hair is in my eye. From the first second I feel like I wanna scratch them out of my eyes. I can't imagine having this feeling all the time 😱💀

@@fipah5817 do you have hard contacts or soft contacts?

@@nyarinyax soft Acuvue super thin daily contacts I use sparingly for events or intense sports. I have light astigmatism and so they are toric - they say you always feel these more in the eye and I can attest to that - whenever they give me a sample to test, it's not toric and feels amazing. Then I order a box and I hate every second of wearing them and it gets worse and by the end of the day I want to scratch them out of my eyes.

@@fipah5817 yikes. That sounds awful! I’m glad that’s not how the surgery feels!
