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.
