Eye Treatments in South Africa
Prk Laser Eye Surgery
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.
