PRK is a short term for Photorefractive keratectomy. It is one of the types of eye surgery based on laser technique. This surgery procedure is performed to treat/ to correct types of refractive errors. This treatment helps in correcting mild to moderate nearsightedness, farsightedness, and/or astigmatism. There are different types of laser eye treatments and procedures being performed by experts to correct different types of eye-problems, diseases or vision-problems.
These all laser vision correction surgeries are performed including reshaping the cornea. The cornea is a clear front part of the eye. It is reshaped so that the light that travels through it is properly focused onto the retina which is located in the back of the eye. Let’s understand what is involved in the PRK laser eye surgery treatment.
• Before the procedure, expert conducts a proper consultation session with patient. Some tests and examinations are done. Then the reports are evaluated by the expert eye surgeon or doctor. And, then patient is suggested whether to undergo the procedure or not, or the best treatment is suggested by the expert.
• If a patient is a good candidate for PRK treatment, then the treatment starts where eye surgeon uses a laser to reshape the cornea.
• A cool pulsing beam of ultraviolet light is delivered by this laser. This laser is used on the surface of the cornea. A type of laser eye procedures, LASIK, involves, use of laser which is used underneath the cornea, unlike PRK.
• PRK eye surgery treatment is completely safe and secure.
• This procedure has been proved as highly accurate in correcting many cases of nearsightedness.
• It eliminates the need of wearing eye-glasses and contact lenses.
• Side effects associated with the procedure are temporary and completely normal. A patient may feel mild discomfort. It may include minor eye irritation and watering. The side effects usually resolve in one to three days following the procedure.
• There are many more important things to understand about this procedure that is why consulting with the expert eye surgeon before undergoing the procedure is must and that is why expert conduct eye tests to understand if a patient is good candidate for PRK eye surgery treatment.
