Summary
Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) is a commonly performed corneal refractive surgery but has significant post-operative pain. Pain medications after PRK are typically opioid-acetaminophen combinations. Alternatives to opioid medication are worth consideration. Patients will receive PRK in each eye sequentially, using the CBD chemovar or codeine/acetaminophen for one eye and the other treatment for the fellow eye two weeks later.
