Overview of PRK Lasek surgery <\/strong><\/h3>\n

PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) Lasek is a laser eye surgery technique utilized to correct astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness. During the procedure, the corneal epithelium layer is carefully removed, and the excimer laser is applied to reshape the cornea. The epithelium layer is then repositioned. Towards the end of the surgery, a specialized lens is placed on the corneal surface to aid in the restoration of the epithelial layer. Within approximately 4 to 5 days, the epithelium layer fully regenerates, and optimal vision of the patient is achieved within 2 months.<\/p>\n

The PRK procedure closely resembles LASIK, with the key distinction being that in Lasek, the epithelium layer is repositioned in the original place, while in PRK, it is temporarily separated from the cornea. Both procedures yield comparable results in terms of laser treatment and post-operative outcomes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
