PRK, or photorefractive keratectomy, is a laser vision correction procedure that reshapes the cornea's surface directly, without creating a corneal flap like LASIK does. This makes PRK a suitable option for patients with thinner corneas or certain corneal irregularities. At Anugraha Eye Hospital, PRK is performed using the Wavelight Ex500, the same US FDA-approved excimer laser used across our refractive procedures.

• No corneal flap created during surgery
• Ideal for thinner or irregular corneas
• Uses the Wavelight Ex500 excimer laser
• Corrects myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism
• Lower risk of certain flap-related complications
• Available at both Vijayapura and Kalaburagi

PRK has a long, well-established safety record, often used as an alternative when LASIK isn't suitable. Recovery is more gradual than LASIK, with some initial discomfort as the eye's surface heals.

• Long-established, well-studied procedure
• Suitable alternative when LASIK isn't
• Some initial discomfort during healing
• Vision continues improving over several weeks
• Regular follow-up to monitor healing

Your PRK care at Anugraha Eye Hospital continues closely through your recovery.
