PRK SURGERY

PRK surgery is an advanced procedure designed for patients with refractive errors. Learning about it is crucial before deciding to undergo the operation.

How Effective Is PRK Surgery as a Refractive Error Correction Method?

Scheduling a consultation with us is ideal if you are exploring different options for vision correction, such as PRK surgery.

What Happens During PRK Surgery?

PRK is designed to help people with refractive errors, such as astigmatism, farsightedness, and nearsightedness. The procedure starts by removing the outermost layer of the cornea, also known as the epithelium, using a specialized surgical instrument. Once the cornea is exposed, it will be reshaped using an excimer laser.

Who Can Get PRK Surgery?

  • People With Good Overall Health – You should be in good overall health condition to prevent complications.
  • Individuals Who Cannot Undergo LASIK Surgery – PRK surgery is an option for patients not qualified for LASIK due to thin corneas and chronic dry eyes.
  • Those Who Have Stable Vision – Your eyeglass prescription should not have changed
