So just to give the scoop on modern PRK for contrast, While many have mentioned, PRK is an older tech, it's not like it's static and stopped in time. Just like LASIK, it has improved over time and is a much different process than in the 90's. Early PRK systems imaged your eye for updates in the dozens or hundreds of times a second, the newer ones refresh thousands of times a second and are substantially more accurate, yadda yadda. I went and had all the various scans done, including the 3d imaging, and they determined that the only process they would recommend for me was PRK, and due to my cornea thickness they would not recommend LASIK. so I went ahead with it. I had PRK eye surgery in 2010. The experience was rather amazing, they laid me down on a table, put me in some headgear so I wouldn't move around, washed my eye with a variety of drops, and used some clamp to keep my eye open. then they said they were calibrating the machine again, some sounds happpened and it was under a minute, and then they said OK, time to do the other eye. I thought they meant they were going to prep my other eye, and the surgery was yet to come.... no... they had actually did all they needed to do in under a minute per eye. All told, I was out of the office in under 30 minutes, about 12 of those were signing forms. For me, even the clamps to hold my eyelid open weren't a huge burden, the only thing that actually annoyed the heck out of me is that they had a bright surgical lamp pointed at my face and I wasn't able to blink, which is a somewhat un-natural feeling. But to only have to do that for 10-15m, and have many years of amazing vision, I'd gladly do it again. and yes, the downside of PRK is that unlike lasik, you don't have 20/20 vision near immediately. Your eyes actually get worse as they heal, and then they get better after a week or two. I actually had PRK done right after finishing my exams at university, and remember a really weird time of when I was trying to do things everyday and I simply couldn't... I couldn't read a computer screen or book at any distance whatsoever for that first week, I was so afraid that maybe the doctor got it wrong, that I'd never be able to see anything properly again, and my entire career life would be ruined. I remember a really hellish day during that time, getting someone to drive me to university and needing to get some transcripts, and I more or less had to navigate the campus by memory and squinting at vague shapes... I had to take her word for it that she gave me my transcript and not someone else's. having worn glasses for nearly all my life, it was like someone had broken the only pair of glasses that would ever work for you, and there was no hope. ... and then it got better after a week or so. And after the initial healing process, I've lived the last 4 years with no side effects, not even dry eyes, no halos or night vision loss, and it's been a dream. Yes, at some point, I'll need reading glasses, but being able to have 20/20 vision for even some amount of time, and fixing my astigmatism, that's just amazing beyond belief. If you're in your 20's, and you have this option available to you, don't hesitate.

Law or not, last I checked Google, Apple, Intel, Adobe, and Intuit were all publicly traded companies. Unless they told their shareholders about this deal, it seems like at least they should have a say on this one.
