What is PRK?
Advanced Laser Eye Surgery with Precise Corneal Reshaping, Customized Vision Correction, & Comprehensive Refractive Care in Siliguri.
Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) is a laser vision correction procedure that reshapes the cornea to improve how light enters the eye and focuses on the retina. It is commonly used to correct refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism.
People with these vision problems may experience blurred eyesight, difficulty focusing on distant objects, frequent dependence on spectacles or contact lenses and challenges with routine activities. PRK offers an alternative to LASIK, particularly for individuals with thinner corneas or certain corneal characteristics.
At Siliguri Greater Lions Eye Hospital, our PRK services focus on providing suitable candidates with personalized laser vision correction through detailed evaluation and advanced treatment techniques.
The procedure begins with a thorough eye examination to assess corneal thickness, curvature, refractive error and overall ocular health. Based on the results, our ophthalmologists determine whether PRK is appropriate and recommend a suitable treatment and recovery plan to support long-term visual outcomes.
