I am 4-days post-op, after having PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) at ClemsonEye Greenville. As a mom to a 6-month old and working full-time, contacts and glasses were one less thing I wanted to think about, and after doing the math it made financial sense to have the surgery.PRK, in my opinion, is a more challenging procedure compared to LASIK, as the healing process is longer and more painful. However, due to the shape of my eyes, LASIK wasn't the best option for me. The doctors and staff at ClemsonEye were transparent about the time it would take to heal and set realistic expectations for immediate outcomes. To be completely honest, it HURT for a couple of days, but it was more than worth it as I am back to normal life (working, driving, being a mom to a busy baby, etc.) over the course of a weekend.Dr. Roman, Dr. Sawyer, Vickie, and the rest of the staff were AMAZING! I felt completely supported throughout the entire process and am grateful for their compassion and commitment to their patients. Several of the staff have had PRK or LASIK, and were able to share their actual experiences and long-term outcomes, which was comforting and encouraging.I really can't say enough about how great my experience has been with this team and would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering having laser eye surgery. Thank you, ClemsonEye!-Melissa Cassity
