What is PRK?👉PRK stands for "Photorefractive Keratectomy," which is a type of refractive eye surgery similar to LASIK. Like LASIK, PRK is used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. During PRK, the eye surgeon then uses a laser to reshape the underlying corneal tissue, correcting the refractive error that is causing vision problems.

Foods That Support Healthy Vision and Why They Matter:
🥕 Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which your body converts into vitamin A. Vitamin A is essential for good night vision and helps keep the surface of the eye healthy.
🐟 Salmon is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which support tear production and can help reduce dry eye symptoms. Omega-3s are also linked to a lower risk of macular degeneration.
🥬 Leafy greens like spinach and kale contain lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidants that help protect the eyes from harmful blue light and reduce the risk of age-related eye diseases.
🥚 Eggs provide a powerful combination of vitamin A, lutein, zeaxanthin, and zinc. Zinc helps transport vitamin A from the liver to the retina, supporting sharp, clear vision.
🍊 Citrus fruits are high in vitamin C, an antioxidant that supports blood vessel health in the eyes and may help slow the progression of cataracts.

Nutrition plays an important role in protecting your vision at every age. Pair a healthy diet with regular eye exams to keep your eyes strong and seeing clearly.
