What eye surgery recommended?

I worked in the lasik industry for 14 years. I use to actually laser people eyes. U should look into getting prk surgery, basically there is no flap created. A instrument that resembles a electric toothbrush does kinda a buffing on ur eye, u are then lasered, cold bss sterile solution and a contact on ur eye for healing for about a week or two. At the end u get the same results as lasik only thing is healing is slower. About a month to 6 weeks. Tbh if u have regular lasik there is always a chance due to boxing a punch can knock that flap out of place. Look it up bro, also I would wait till 24 or 25 years old. Ur eyes are more stable at that age.

What�s the benefit of prk over LASIK?

Get advice from an optomertrist about what is best for you. Don't consult a boxing forum for medical/life advice. You will wind up dead or on jail.

Lasik is a flap creation and prk there is not flap. I'm no doctor, but that is the difference. Money is also a difference. usually lasik places have free consultations to exams ur eyes and give u more in dept full detail. Either way u go lasik or prk ur eyes still get lasered. Prk also benefits patients with thin corneal tissue. Google it and do some research and good luck to u

But it�s not fair for someone who had bad vision as kid get mess up by it. My vision isn�t bad but I know it�s gonna get little worser later on in my adult years. Sorry if this been other thread like this but I scared that I won�t be able to do much with a wrong eye surgery messing up on my boxing journey.

Curve ball..... soft contact lenses. They are permitted in matches. Get decent one day disposable.

Never been knocked out my eyes, only issue is sometimes with loads of sweat can�t rub eyes as that would dislodge them

Thanks, been on hiatus for several years and getting ready to spar next week for the first time since college days. Had issues with the contacts back then but I think the ones I have now should stay in better. They are daily wear and much nicer fitting than back in the day..
