PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) removes the corneal surface epithelium before applying the excimer laser directly to the underlying stroma, with no flap created. It is the original laser vision correction procedure and remains the safest option for patients with thin corneas, dry eyes, or active lifestyles at risk of flap trauma.
PRK Surgery Procedure — Step by Step
The corneal epithelium is gently removed, the excimer laser reshapes the exposed stroma, and a bandage contact lens is placed while the surface heals.
