Answers (5)
Visual recovery faster in lasik slower in prk
Prk preferred in low refractive errors as it os extremely safe
Lasik preferred in refractive error above -4D
Chances of getting glasses are less if pre operative lasik workup is done thoroughly and you fit into criteria for refractive surgery

Lasik issues possible like flap related issues dryness corneal weakening etc
Prk issue possible is corneal haze etc but lesser dryness and stronger corneal and no flap related issues
