Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK)

Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK), is a revolutionary laser eye surgery that can transform the way you see the world. It shares similarities with LASIK but distinguishes itself by omitting the creation of a corneal flap. Instead, PRK reshapes the cornea's outer layer, the epithelium, using an excimer laser to achieve precise vision correction.

During surgery, the epithelial layer is gently removed to expose the corneal tissue underneath. The excimer laser then sculpts the cornea to the desired shape, allowing light to be accurately focused on the retina. The body naturally regenerates the epithelium over a few days, promoting a clear and healthy cornea.

Why Choose PRK?

• Ideal for individuals with thinner or irregular corneas.
• Minimizes the risk associated with creating a corneal flap.
• Suitable for patients who may not qualify for LASIK.
• Predictable results and long-lasting vision correction.
