PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a laser eye surgery that reshapes the cornea using an excimer laser to correct refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. The procedure involves removing the epithelial layer of the cornea before applying the laser treatment, allowing for faster healing compared to LASIK. However, PRK may cause more discomfort and take longer to recover.

PRK laser eye surgery in Croatia corrects vision by removing the surface layer of the cornea and applying laser energy for reshaping. It's a safer alternative to LASIK. Typically improves distance vision, particularly nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Croatia is known for its advanced ophthalmology centers with modern technology. Patients may require glasses or contact lenses after PRK but vision generally stabilizes in several weeks. Consultation, pre-operative exam, and follow-up appointments included.
