Hello, I am 22 years old. I?ve been using spectacles from the age 10 and I am planning to do laser eye surgery to remove specs, so I am confusing about which one is better to do which one is safer, lasik or prk, please suggest me which one is best to do.

Details of your power and the cornea status need to be considered. Most commonly though, patients have prk instead of lasik because the prk procedure requires less corneal tissue thickness than lasik does, which is of significant consideration for patients with naturally thinner corneas or higher amounts of nearsightedness or both.
