PRK Eye Surgery

PRK Eye Surgery – Safe and Reliable Vision Correction

Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) is a proven and effective laser vision correction surgery used to treat refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. It is one of the earliest forms of laser eye surgery and remains a preferred option for patients with thin corneas or those not eligible for LASIK. At Sri Sai Srinivasa Eye Hospital, we offer PRK surgery using advanced excimer laser technology to reshape the cornea and restore clear, sharp vision—without the need for glasses or contact lenses.

Unlike LASIK, PRK does not involve creating a corneal flap. Instead, the outer layer of the cornea (epithelium) is gently removed, and a precise laser is used to reshape the underlying corneal tissue. A special protective contact lens is placed over the eye to aid healing while the epithelium naturally regenerates over a few days. PRK is ideal for individuals with active lifestyles, thin corneas, or those who may have corneal irregularities, offering long-term visual stability and reduced risk of complications.

At Sri Sai Srinivasa Eye Hospital, our highly trained surgeons ensure that each PRK procedure is customized to your eye’s specific needs, using detailed corneal mapping and advanced diagnostics. Recovery takes slightly longer than LASIK, but the results are equally impressive—most patients achieve 20/20 vision or better. With over a decade of experience in refractive surgeries, we provide trusted, high-precision care, helping you achieve visual freedom through the safe and time-tested PRK technique.
