This is fascinating. I too have thin corneas and have been told I could not have eye surgery. This would sure beat contacts...
I also have another eye problem though that means one of my corneas has slightly deformed...not sure if that also invalidates PRK. But I will find out!
Only thing I'm scared of is the long-term...does it ever go back, after several decades? And then is there something you can do about it if it does? These are my main concerns. That and going blind through a mistake! Eeek.
Heh I'm squeamish but I have already been told I may need a corneal transplant later on in life, courtesy of my cornea problem. That is just creepy...but apparently they have a high success rate. Never did think I'd ever need a transplant though. Weirdness.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
