Your doctor will first numb your eyes to prevent you from feeling any discomfort. They will then create a flap in the front part of the eye, allowing them to access the cornea and reshape it using a laser. The flap will then be returned to its place, allowing your eyes to heal quickly and naturally.

TransPRK is a safe, fast, and effective procedure with a high success rate. The initial step is to remove your epithelium (the outermost layer of the cornea) using a specialized laser. Another type of laser will then be used to reshape the cornea to correct your refractive error.

PRK is designed to help people with refractive errors, such as astigmatism, farsightedness, and nearsightedness. The procedure starts by removing the outermost layer of the cornea, also known as the epithelium, using a specialized surgical instrument. Once the cornea is exposed, it will be reshaped using an excimer laser.
