| Rob,
I am contacting you because you are the only person I've found so far
who has experience with London Place and no-touch PRK.
I, like you, have extremely sensitive eyes (contacts are impossible)
and was wondering what was your healing experience? I read a post on
someone's blog and they mentioned very intense itching and pain for
days after the surgery (PRK).
Thank you.
