Legal Question in Workers Comp in Texas

Does workmans comp pay for PRK?

I injured my eye at work 11yrs ago.

I was told by the insurance company that workmans comp would cover and pay for all bills that have to do with that eye that was injured I have been going to the eye Doctor ever since and they have been paying for the Bill, Know I have to have PRK Laser surgery on the same eye that is supposed to be covered and they will not pay because they say it is elective and I have some vision in that eye already. Can they do that?
