Is PRK for Me?
Similar to a LASIK procedure, PRK is designed to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. However, unlike LASIK, PRK doesn’t create a flap in the cornea. Instead, the very thin outer layer is gently removed before the laser reshapes the eye’s surface to correct vision problems.
PRK is a safe and effective way to improve your vision if your prescription has been stable for a while, you don’t have advanced eye diseases like glaucoma or cataracts, and your corneas are healthy.
Your eye doctor will do a full exam and talk with you about your goals and whether PRK or another option makes the most sense.
Let’s Talk About Cost
Most patients spend less on PRK than they would on decades of glasses, contacts, solution, and replacements. And the payoff is clear vision every day.
We’ll walk you through exact pricing, financing options, and how to use FSA or HSA dollars if you have them. No surprises. No small print. Just straight talk.
Ready for the Next Step?
If you’re tired of blurry mornings, lost contacts, and fogged-up glasses, PRK could change everything. Let’s find out if it’s right for you.
What to Expect on
Procedure Day
- First, we numb your eyes.
- Then, the surgeon uses a laser to reshape your cornea, enabling light to focus correctly on the back of your eye.
- A protective contact lens is placed on your eye to help it heal.
- The whole procedure usually takes only minutes per eye.
- You go home with a post-procedure care kit and followup instructions.
Healing after PRK takes a bit longer than with LASIK because the eye’s surface has to grow back naturally. Our team checks in, answers your questions, and keeps things moving smoothly.
