The PRK Procedure

PRK, also known as photorefractive keratectomy, is a specific type of LASIK that uses a slightly different method to prepare the cornea for correction with the excimer laser. It is a method that a small percentage of our patients prefer based on their chosen profession or lifestyle. We are still using the same advanced technology to personalize your treatment and perform customized LASIK.

THREE EASY STEPS TO A CLEAR FUTURE

1.

The process begins during your pre-exam with the iDesign Refractive Studio. iDesign is the first and only topo-integrated, wavefront guided technology used to create a personalized treatment plans. This important step allows us to map your eyes from the inside out for truly customized correction. Contact lenses should be out for at least 2 weeks prior to this exam.

2.

This step is what differentiates PRK from iLASIK. During this part of the procedure, a solution is used to remove the top layer of the cornea. By using this method the flap is taken out of the equation. The cornea will regrows as the eye heals. The healing process occurs more slowly than with the iLASIK procedure, but the visual results are the same.

3.

After the cornea has been prepared the excimer laser is used to reshape the cornea. The excimer laser performs customized ablation based on the data provided by the iDesign Refractive Studio. The precise reshaping of your corneal contour takes approximately 30 seconds or less for most patients.
