PRK is an excellent alternative to LASIK for patients with thin corneas or other conditions that make LASIK unsuitable. It provides the same excellent vision correction results with a different approach.
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a surface laser treatment that directly reshapes the cornea without creating a flap. It's ideal for patients with thin corneas, dry eyes, or those in certain professions where flap-related complications need to be avoided.
PRK offers excellent long-term stability with no risk of flap-related complications. It's particularly suitable for patients with active lifestyles or contact sports participation.
While PRK recovery takes slightly longer than LASIK, most patients achieve excellent vision within a week. The final visual outcome is equivalent to LASIK with the added benefit of enhanced corneal stability.
