PRK Laser Eye Surgery - Photorefractive Keratectomy
Photorefractive Keratectomy or as it is commonly known PRK Laser Eye Surgery is one of the original vision corrective procedures. PRK Eye Surgery involves a cool laser beam being passed through the eye to reshape the inner cornea. An Excimer Laser is used to complete this procedure. Reshaping the cornea results in the light which enters the eye onto the retina to be focused better thus creating perfect vision. PRK Laser Eye Surgery is suitable for individuals with a thin cornea.

What does PRK Laser Eye Surgery involve?
PRK Eye Surgery is generally performed as an outpatient procedure. The procedure can take as little as one minute to perform. To begin anaesthetic drops are often placed in the eye to minimize discomfort, another common pain relief method is to provide an oral sedative prior to the procedure. A retainer is then placed on the eye which is being operated on in order to keep it open during the PRK Laser Eye Procedure. Once you are comfortable and laying down facing the Laser the beam will be operated by your surgeon in order to reshape your cornea according to your prescription.
The PRK Excimer Laser will make a steady clicking sound during the procedure which is due to the pulses of laser being used to reshape your cornea.
