> [re: PRK] This regrowth can be ... rather painful
I'm here to tell everyone to listen to the doctor about pain medications and sleeping after PRK. I have a repeatedly-demonstrated very high tolerance for pain, and didn't bother to follow the directions.
As a result, I spent about an hour seriously considering whether it would hurt less if I physically scooped out my eyeballs by hand. That's not a metaphor -- I had to mentally restrain my hands.
And the punchline is that 12 years later I again need glasses for computer work, which is what I do all day.
