Before my PRK surgery, I had terrible vision. I always had to wear contacts, and I had to always remember to bring spares to my sports practices or whenever I traveled. If I had lost one of my contacts or if my eyes would get irritated, it would ruin whatever I was doing because I nearly blind without my contacts/glasses.
I chose PRK because I live an active lifestyle and I had decided to have Dr. Terry perform the surgery based on the research I had done on him. On meeting Dr. Terry, I found him to be friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable. Dr. Terry explained the whole procedure to me beforehand, which made me feel comfortable and confident about the surgery. The day of the surgery, he was very thorough with his process, going through the exact same checklist out loud that he had gone over with me the day before. The surgery itself, which was quite painless, only took about 20 minutes.
Although PRK takes a longer time to heal, Dr. Terry and his staff were always ready and prepared for the following days if I had any discomfort and any complications. It has been six months now since my surgery and my vision has never been better! I continue to live a very active lifestyle, and I no longer have to worry about packing spare contacts or glasses ever again! For someone like me who had horrible vision before, Dr. Terry surgery was life changing. I am glad I had my vision corrected and I am extremely happy with my choice in choosing Dr. Terry and his staff to perform my vision correction.
