One hundred and four patients who meet the inclusion criteria undergoing photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in one or both eyes will be randomly assigned into one of two treatment groups via computer. Those in group A will be treated with gabapentin and those in group B will be treated with pregabalin to control postoperative PRK pain. Patients in both groups will begin treatment two hours prior to surgery. Patients in the gabapentin group will take 300 mg three times a day starting two hours prior to surgery and will continue for a total of four days. Patients in the pregabalin group will take 50 mg three times a day starting two hours prior to surgery and will also continue for four days.
