Yes they do you fucken mong, my friend gor PRK surgery last year.

PRK stands for PhotoRefractiveKeractectomy. This is 100% blade free technique. It involves removing the outer corneal surface (epithelium) by debridement (scraping). An Excimer laser is then used to reshape the cornea. PRK patients wear bandage contact lenses for 3-4 days while the outer corneal surface (epithelium) regenerates. People with thinner Corneas may be suitable for PRK. In the PRK technique, as the Corneal epithelium has to regrow over the Cornea, the visual recovery is much slower (7 -10 days as opposed to 1 day), which requires more time off work, and the healing process is more painful than with LASIK
