PRK is a proven vision correction technique that has been around for many years. It is ideal if your cornea is a little thin or if you have a moderate visual defect.
How does it work?
- The surface layer of your cornea (called the epithelium) is gently removed.
- Next, a laser precisely sculpts your cornea to correct vision.
. An anti-scarring agent is used to limit the risk of haze (excessive scarring).
- A lens dressing is applied at the end to protect the eye while it heals.
For whom?
- People with mild to moderate myopia.
- Patients with astigmatism or hyperopia.
The reassuring points:
- It's a simple, reliable method.
- It is perfectly suited to thin corneas.
- The results are long-lasting and satisfying.
