PRK is one of the original forms of laser vision correction and remains a trusted solution for reshaping the cornea without creating a flap, unlike LASIK or Micro-LASIK.

In this procedure:

• The thin outer layer of the cornea (epithelium) is gently removed.
• An excimer laser precisely reshapes the underlying corneal tissue to correct your vision.
• A special contact lens is placed temporarily to protect the eye during healing.

Benefits of PRK:

• No corneal flap: Ideal for patients with thin or irregular corneas.
• Long-term stability: Excellent outcomes with very low risk of flap-related complications.
• Lower risk in high-impact activities: Suitable for athletes, military personnel, or people in active professions.

What to Expect:

• Slightly longer recovery time than LASIK (typically 3–7 days for initial healing).
• Full visual improvement over a few weeks as the cornea regenerates naturally.
• Mild discomfort or light sensitivity during the healing period.

PRK is recommended for:

• Patients with thin corneas unsuitable for LASIK
• Individuals with dry eyes or corneal surface irregularities
• Those wanting a safe, flapless refractive surgery option
