Possibility for 20/20?
I’m considering PRK and have pretty high regular astigmatism in both eyes (about -5.00 D OD and -4.00 D OS). My corneal topography showed no signs of keratoconus or other corneal dystrophy, and the rest of my eye exam was normal. What confuses me is that my existing glasses prescription was recorded as giving me 20/20- vision in each eye, but during the new manifest refraction I only reached around 20/25, and the doctor wrote that I’m “best corrected to 20/25” likely due to meridional/astigmatic amblyopia. Since I’ve apparently achieved close to 20/20 with my current glasses, how likely is it that PRK could get me to 20/20 without glasses?
