LASEK/Trans PRK

LASEK/Trans PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a refractive eye surgery designed to correct vision issues such as near-sightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism.

This procedure combines elements of both LASEK and traditional PRK techniques. During LASEK/Trans PRK, the outer layer of the cornea (epithelium) is gently removed and preserved, followed by the use of an excimer laser to reshape the corneal tissue. The epithelial layer is then repositioned, promoting faster healing. This approach is particularly beneficial for patients with thinner corneas or those who might not be ideal candidates for LASIK. LASEK/Trans PRK offers a reliable alternative to LASIK with a similar high success rate, though recovery may take slightly longer, with patients experiencing a gradual improvement in vision over a few weeks.
