PRK Laser Eye Surgery
At Dr. MM Eye Care, we offer PRK Laser Eye Surgery to help you achieve clear, lasting vision safely and comfortably. Ideal for thinner corneas or active lifestyles, this flap-free procedure preserves corneal strength and supports a smooth recovery.
Understanding PRK
Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) is one of the earliest and most trusted forms of laser vision correction. Unlike LASIK, PRK reshapes the cornea without creating a flap, making it ideal for individuals with thin corneas or those engaged in high-impact activities. This surface-based technique ensures strong corneal preservation and long-term visual stability with proven safety over decades of successful outcomes.
We Ensure Reliable Results with Advanced Care
Pre-Operative Assessment
Comprehensive eye examination, corneal mapping, and suitability evaluation.
Epithelial Removal
The corneal surface layer (epithelium) is gently removed.
Laser Reshaping
Excimer laser precisely reshapes the cornea to correct your vision.
Protective Contact Lens
A bandage contact lens is placed to aid healing and comfort.
Recovery & Follow-up
Natural epithelial regeneration over 3–5 days with regular follow-up appointments.
