Hi everyone.
I just found your community and am looking for a second opinion. I have had severe myopia my whole life, -14.5 in one eye, -11.25 in the other, with limited astigmatism -0.5, -1, respectively.
I have worn RGP lenses since I was a child and do really well with them.
I currently live in southern Italy and the doctor I saw today said I was a good candidate for PRK, but I'd like to verify that as I haven't seen anyone with -14+ report success with the surgery. I'm not one of those people who think doctors in other countries aren't as educated as US doctors, but I obviously would like to confirm this, since the last doctor I saw in the US (2005) said I wasn't a candidate.
Any information would help.
Thank you!
