PRK

 

Photo Refractive Keratotomy (PRK) is used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism using a laser beam to reshape the cornea. Hundreds of thousands of persons in the world have had this procedure.

 

  

How Is PRK Performed?

After receiving eye drops that numb your eye, (so you won't feel discomfort), the surgeon will reshape your cornea using a painless laser beam. The procedure takes less than half an hour from start to finish.

What Are The Advantages Of PRK?

Simple. You can regain up to 20/20 vision without glasses or contacts lenses quickly and easily using an established and safe procedure.

Our staff of trained professionals can help determine if this procedure will benefit you. Since they are also trained in LASIK, AK and other corrective procedures, they are qualified to evaluate your specific situation, and recommend the appropriate procedure for your specific needs.

FDA Approved

 In 1995 the Food and Drug Administration approved the use of the excimer laser, which is used in this procedure.
