Posted By Patient Letter to the Editor On November 17, 2011 @ 10:48 pm In Patient Questions,Pediatrics | Comments Disabled

Hi, my daughter is wearing a lens on her right eye only (+5.25), but for the past 6 months she is having pain, discomfort and itching and doesn’t want to wear it anymore, also doesn’t want to wear her glasses. Her ophthalmologist recommends PRK surgery for her, but she is only 13 yrs old. I don’t know if we should go for it or not. Please help me make the right decision for her. Thank You.
