PRK Surgery in Rawalpindi — Why Choose FIO Hospital?
FIO Hospital is Rawalpindi's first choice for PRK Surgery. Patients from Rawalpindi and across Punjab choose FIO Hospital — accessible from Rawalpindi via our Nearest FIO: Islamabad (30 min) for prk surgery because of our international JCI accreditation, fellowship-trained surgeons, and ZEISS MEL 90 excimer laser technology. With a 98% success rate across prk surgery procedures, we deliver outcomes that speak for themselves.
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.
