PRK after RK, anyone here have it done?

I am considering PRK after RK.   I have 6 incisions in each eye.  I was at -2.25 before RK.   I am now 50 years old and i have 20/30 vision in left eye and 20/60 in right  eye.   My near vision requires 1.75 readers.   I do have the beginnings of a cataract in my right eye.   Just want to know if I should have PRK or go ahead and get the cataract surgery.  I am interested in the LAL lens.  Still not FDA approved though.

I have referred your question to a US investigator of the Light Adjustable Lens and who also consults on post RK reduction of vision. I'll let you know what he says.   JCH MD
