Trans PRK Surgery

TRANS PRK SURGERY

Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy (Trans PRK) is an advanced laser technique that corrects vision issues like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism by reshaping the cornea without creating a flap.

What is Trans PRK Surgery?

This procedure is ideal for individuals with thin corneas or those engaged in high-impact activities. During Trans PRK, a specialized laser removes the cornea’s outer layer and reshapes the underlying tissue, ensuring corneal stability while minimizing risks.

Benefits of Trans PRK Surgery

  • Flap-Free Technique: Reduces complications and maintains corneal integrity.
  • Ideal for Thin Corneas: A safe alternative for patients who are not suitable for LASIK.
  • Minimal Discomfort: Advanced technology ensures a comfortable experience.
  • Quick Recovery: Most patients notice improved vision within a few days.
  • Long-Term Eye Health: Reduces the risk of complications, preserving corneal strength.

Trans PRK Procedure

1. Initial Consultation

  • Comprehensive eye health evaluation using advanced imaging techniques like corneal topography and OCT.
  • Personalized assessment to determine corneal thickness and overall eye condition.

2. Step-by-Step Surgical Process

  • Preparation: Anesthetic eye drops are applied to ensure a pain-free experience.
  • Epithelium Removal: An excimer laser gently removes the outer corneal layer.
  • Corneal Reshaping: The laser corrects refractive errors by reshaping the cornea.
  • Protective Lens: A soft contact lens is placed to aid in healing.

Recovery Process and Aftercare

1. Initial Healing Period

  • Temporary mild discomfort, light sensitivity, and excessive tearing.
  • The corneal surface regenerates within 3-5 days.

2. Long-Term Recovery

  • Significant vision improvement within a week, with full clarity in a few months.
  • Regular follow-ups ensure proper healing and long-term eye health.

Post-Operative Care

  • Avoid strenuous activities and direct sunlight.
  • Refrain from rubbing your eyes.
  • Use prescribed eye drops to reduce inflammation and aid healing.

Conclusion

Trans PRK Surgery is a safe and innovative vision correction procedure that provides exceptional precision, minimal discomfort, and a fast recovery. It is especially beneficial for individuals with thin corneas or active lifestyles. Consult with our specialists to determine if Trans PRK is the right choice for you.
