What is PRK Eye Surgery?

• Are you looking for PRK Eye Surgery? Your search
  ends here.
• Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) is an eye
  surgery which corrects the shape of cornea with
  laser. It is the most effective surgery that is
  used to cure myopia (nearsightedness),
  hypermyopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism (an
  irregular eye shape that causes blurry vision).
• PRK surgery is the best option for those who have
  higher risk of eye injury. It is better than any
  other form of eye surgery be it LASIK. However,
  results of both the surgeries are almost the
  same. Lasik takes a few days to show up the
  proper result, whereas, PRK takes about a month.
  As prescribed by surgeons, it is considered as
  much safer than lasik and it lasts long.

What is PRK Eye Surgery?

• It is a type of refractive surgery. This kind of
  surgery uses a laser to treat vision problems
  caused by refractive errors. You have a
  refractive error when your eye does not refract
  light properly. In this procedure, the top layer
  of cornea is removed. It is the original form of
  laser surgery practiced by surgeons from over 20
  years. Like every other procedure, this also uses
  local Anesthesia, so patients do not feel any
  kind of pain during the entire process.
• Although PRK surgery is expensive than Lasik
  surgery, its effects are more noticeable. The
  difference between both surgeries is approx
  1200. Lasik surgery ranges between 1000- 2600
  per eye and on the other hand, PRK ranges from
  2000-4000 for both eyes. Results of PRK are
  much better than the normal lasik surgery.
