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.


Trans PRK Surgery

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.
