PRK Laser Eye Surgery

Incision Free Laser Eye Surgery

PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a proven laser eye surgery that reshapes the cornea to correct vision issues like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Unlike other procedures, PRK does not involve creating a corneal flap, making it an excellent option for patients with thinner corneas or those involved in contact sports. PRK offers a safe and effective solution with long-lasting results.

Procedure Time

The PRK procedure typically takes around 10 to 15 minutes per eye. The actual laser reshaping process only lasts seconds, with our advanced technology ensuring precision and accuracy. You’ll be in and out of the clinic within two hours, including preparation and post-care.

Typical Results

Most patients experience significant vision improvement within a few days to a week after their PRK procedure. While individual results vary, the majority achieve 20/20 vision or better, reducing or eliminating their dependence on glasses and contacts. Your personalised treatment plan ensures the best possible outcome.

Recovery Time

Recovery from PRK is slightly longer compared to other laser eye surgeries, with most patients returning to their normal activities within 3 to 5 days. You may experience some discomfort, dryness, or sensitivity to light during the initial healing phase. These symptoms usually subside within a week as your eyes heal naturally. Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery process.
