Deciding to do PRK was tough for me! I believe in the healing power of energy work for vision.
When I was in high school, my prescription was close to -8 in both eyes. But shortly after beginning to experience energy work as a client, I needed new glasses with a prescription of -5.75 which eventually became -5.25, where I am today. My eye doctor was very surprised to find that my eyes were getting better with age, not worse!
When trauma causes vision loss, what has happened is that the body has taken the things it doesn't want to see, and stores them in the optic region. Basically, you try so hard not to see something in your life, that it actually alters your vision system.
In the book
Take Off Your Glasses and See, which I recommend, the author explains that in his ophthalmology work, once he started interviewing people, he found that they had invariably experienced a significant trauma 6-12 months prior to needing glasses. This need to not-see something in life affects the vision directly.
Since my vision has partially healed through energy work, I had felt very strongly that I ought to complete the process through energy work alone. But still part of me felt like now was the time to do PRK. I felt very conflicted about it. I reached out to another energy worker for insight, since sometimes it's hard to work on yourself. She said, "Your corneas just want love, peace, and joy."
And as soon as she said it, it was like I saw my corneas in my mind's eye, and you know what they said? They said "YES!! WE NEED PEACE, LOVE, AND JOY!" And they said, "WE WANT A HAIR CUT!!" They reminded me of how when people experience trauma, they often cut their hair in response. They said, "Just let us shave off the damaged tissue and start over! We want a hair cut!"
So I said okay, and here we are. In PRK, they essentially burn off the top layer of the cornea and then you have to regrow it--it's safer than Lasik but has a longer recovery time and is apparently pretty painful. So I will be out for a few weeks while I recover but plan to be back-at-em in mid-May.
Also, I forgot about this, but a client just reminded me about it--her son needed glasses after some trauma and we did some energy work for him... and now he doesn't need glasses anymore! Energy healing CAN improve vision, depending on the client's situation and experience.
And sometimes your body might opt for a corneal "haircut."
Vision care is like the rest of the care we take for our health: we use the best of the West and the best of energy work too.
