C3R & PRK.

2023-08-16 15:27:45
My trainer has issues with his eyes. Doctors confirmed that it is C3R & PRK. One of the doctors suggested to have the surgery done for C3R and later if required PRK can be done later. Another doctor confirmed both C3R and PRK can be done in one go. The time required will be an hour. Can anyone suggest which one we should go for.?
