What Is PRK?
Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) is a laser eye surgery used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Unlike LASIK, PRK does not involve creating a corneal flap, making it ideal for patients with thin corneas, chronic dry eyes, or those with active lifestyles such as athletes.
Benefits of PRK
PRK is a safe and time-tested procedure that delivers long-term results. Its main benefits include:
- Suitable for thin or irregular corneas
- No risk of flap-related complications
- Reduced risk of dry eye after surgery
- Excellent long-term visual results
- Preferred for patients with physically demanding occupations
Step-by-Step Procedure
- Numbing eye drops are applied.
- The surface layer (epithelium) of the cornea is gently removed.
- The excimer laser reshapes the cornea to correct the refractive error.
- A therapeutic contact lens is placed temporarily to protect the eye during healing.
- Vision gradually improves over 2 to 4 weeks, with full results in 4 to 6 weeks.
Technology We Use: VISX STAR S4 IRTM
We perform PRK surgery using the VISX STAR S4 IRTM excimer laser system, one of the most advanced and precise FDA-approved technologies in the world. The system offers:
The VISX STAR S4 IRTM combines ActiveTrakTM 3D eye tracking for real-time motion compensation, Iris Registration (IR) for accurate treatment alignment, and CustomVueTM wavefront-guided technology that personalizes the laser treatment to your eye’s unique optical fingerprint. With Variable Spot Scanning (VSSTM), it ensures a smooth laser ablation profile, reducing glare and improving night vision quality.
Technical Maintenance & Calibration
To ensure consistent precision and safety, the VISX STAR S4 IRTM undergoes routine maintenance:
The laser’s internal optics, including its high-grade lenses and mirrors, are regularly cleaned and inspected by certified engineers. Its laser chamber, often referred to as the “prime,” contains a calibrated gas mixture (argon and fluorine) responsible for generating the excimer beam. This gas is replaced approximately every 3 to 6 months, depending on usage volume. These strict servicing protocols maintain the system’s high accuracy and reliability for every treatment.
