The predecessor to LASIK, Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) is an alternative technique used to help many individuals who struggle with nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism to achieve clearer vision and independence from glasses or contact lenses. Similar to LASIK, the procedure involves first removing the outer layer of cells of the cornea known as the epithelium and second treating or smoothing the corneal tissue using an excimer laser to deliver you your best vision yet – free of contacts & glasses! With advents in topography-guided procedures, patients are experiencing the vibrancy of colors and textures in a whole new prism of light!
