Overview PRK

Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is a refractive treatment that uses lasers to reshape your eyes, ultimately restoring your clear vision. When light rays are unable to reach the back of the eye correctly due to uneven shaping, it leads to blurred or distorted images. Consequently, PRK assists in correcting this condition by reconfiguring the curvature of your lens! This laser surgery has proven exceedingly successful and may even eliminate the need for wearing glasses or contact lenses altogether; however, occasionally you might find them necessary during nighttime activities such as driving and reading.

PRK is an outpatient procedure that can be completed in a few minutes, though the overall process—including preparation and recovery time—may take several hours. Afterward, you are free to go home on the same day of your surgery!

PRK Procedure

To perform PRK, the outer layer of the cornea needs to be removed first. This can be achieved with a microkeratome or femtosecond laser device. After that’s done, an excimer laser is employed to reshape it according to your eyeglass prescription; finally, a contact lens and bandage act as protective measures for healing until you’re ready for follow-up care.

The PRK procedure can be done on one eye or both eyes at once, normally taking less than half an hour. Following the treatment, recuperation typically takes a few days to up to seven days and some slight pain and soreness near the operated area is expected immediately after it’s finished. Fortunately, such symptoms tend to disappear over time within just a couple of days!

Benefits of PRK

PRK surgery involves permanently changing the shape of your eye’s cornea, which is the clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of your eye.

Some of the advantages of PRK eye surgery are:

For those with thin corneas or other eye ailments, PRK is a much safer alternative to LASIK.
Athletes, military personnel, and other people who may be exposed to eye injuries can benefit greatly from this choice due to the absence of a flap of tissue that is formed.
PRK may provide a quicker recovery time than LASIK, and you will likely experience fewer discomforts during the healing period.
No risk of flap complications with PRK
Better quality vision as compared to LASIK
Reduced risk of serious complications, such as flap dislocation.

Why PRK Surgery?

Keep in mind that each technique has advantages and disadvantages. An ophthalmologist must examine a patient to determine which treatment is best for him or her.

PRK Surgery Aftercare

After your PRK surgery, you will need to take care of your eyes to ensure a successful recovery.

Here are some aftercare tips:

To keep your eyes hydrated and free of irritation, use the artificial tears or ointment prescribed to you by a doctor.
Refrain from rubbing your eyes for four weeks following surgery, as it can be detrimental to successful results.
Shield your eyes from harsh sunlight and blustery winds with sunglasses when you step out. Not only are they stylish, but polarized lenses will also offer superior protection for your peepers.
After surgery, it is best to abstain from activities that will spike your heart rate or cause you to perspire for a period of four weeks. This includes exercise routines, hot tubs and saunas – all should be avoided at this time.
To aid in the healing process, be sure to utilize eye drops as directed by your doctor.
