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