What is PRK surgery?
PRK was the first type of laser eye surgery for vision. Though PRK recovery takes a bit longer than recovery from LASIK eye surgery, PRK is still commonly performed and offers advantages over LASIK for some patients. Like LASIK and other types of laser eye surgery, PRK works by reshaping the cornea, allowing light entering the eye to be properly focused onto the retina for clear vision.It helps people to have an even more beautiful, shiny face by getting rid of all kinds of glasses and its side effects on face.
Before PRK eye surgery, patient will meet with an eye doctor to go through medical history taking and eyes will be fully examined; Likely initial tests include measuring corneal thickness, refraction, corneal mapping, eye pressure, and pupil dilation will be done.
