About PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) Surgery
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a type of laser eye surgery used to correct vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It works by reshaping the cornea using a laser, allowing light to focus correctly on the retina. Unlike LASIK, PRK does not involve creating a corneal flap, making it a preferred option for individuals with thin corneas or dry eyes. The procedure takes about 10-15 minutes per eye, and while the initial healing phase takes a few days, full vision stabilization occurs over several weeks.
Day 1: Pre-Procedure Phase (Consultation & Preparation)
Step 1: Initial Consultation
