What is PRK?

Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) is an advanced laser vision correction procedure designed for patients with thin corneas or those who may not be suitable for LASIK. With 17 years of expertise, the ophthalmology team at GS Eye Clinic ensures precise, safe, and effective PRK treatments, delivering long-lasting vision clarity.

Unlike LASIK, PRK does not require a corneal flap, making it an ideal option for individuals with active lifestyles or higher risks of corneal injury.

Types of PRK Surgery at GS Eye Clinic

✔ Standard PRK – Reshapes the cornea using excimer laser technology for precise vision correction.
✔ TransPRK (No-Touch PRK) – A bladeless, all-laser technique that removes the epithelium without manual intervention for enhanced comfort and faster recovery.
✔ Safe & Effective Treatment – PRK is FDA-approved and offers a long-term vision correction solution.

Why Choose GS Eye Clinic for PRK Surgery?

✔ No Corneal Flap – Unlike LASIK, PRK eliminates the risk of flap-related complications, making it ideal for patients with thin corneas.
✔ Minimally Invasive Procedure – PRK uses a laser to gently reshape the cornea’s surface without cutting.
✔ Reduced Dry Eye Risk – Preserving corneal nerves helps maintain natural tear production.
✔ Precision Vision Correction – Advanced laser technology ensures accurate reshaping for optimal results.
✔ Comprehensive Pre-Surgical Assessment – Detailed eye examinations help determine the best PRK approach for each patient.

Key Factors for Safe PRK Surgery

1. Corneal Thickness & Healing Process

✔ PRK removes the outermost corneal layer (epithelium), which naturally regenerates within days.
✔ Requires slightly longer recovery time than LASIK but provides equally effective results.

2. Customized Laser Ablation

✔ Precise excimer laser reshaping ensures optimal vision correction tailored to each patient’s eye structure.
✔ PRK is especially beneficial for patients with irregular corneal surfaces.

Advanced Pre-Surgery Analysis for Maximum Accuracy

We utilize cutting-edge diagnostic technology to measure:
✔ Corneal topography & thickness
✔ Pupil size & light sensitivity
✔ Custom laser ablation patterns for optimized results

Thorough pre-surgical evaluation ensures safety, precision, and the best possible vision outcomes.

Post-Surgery Care & Follow-Ups

Proper recovery is crucial for long-term vision stability. Patients should:
❌ Avoid rubbing their eyes during the healing process.
❌ Wear protective eyewear as instructed to shield against UV exposure.
❌ Attend scheduled follow-ups to monitor healing and vision improvement.

Regular post-operative check-ups help ensure smooth recovery and lasting visual clarity.
