It's been 7 years after getting PRK for my eyes and in the last few months have noticed that my vision has gone from "HD" to "SD." I notice my vision is no longer sharp for seeing at a distance and sometimes have to put my glasses on to see small writing on the television or if I want to see face expressions clearly when seeing people from a distance. When I switch back and forth from looking through my glasses and looking without them, the difference is very little yet it stinks that the outer edges of things are not sharp anymore.
I'm still not wearing my glasses much at all but keep them in my purse now because if I'm driving somewhere new, it's better if I have them to see street signs, etc. Before I only needed my glasses for night vision but now need anytime I want to see wording or face expressions far away.
My doctor did tell me that around 10 years is when you'll see your vision creep back into the state it was in before and low and behold it is.
With that said, I don't regret the PRK procedure I did 7 years ago, my vision was absolutely horrible back then and I still passed my driving eye exam at the DMV without glasses a few months ago!
