Transpupillary keratophakia (TPK) is a refractive surgery that involves molding a clear plastic contact lens onto the cornea using focused light energy, reshaping the curvature of the eye and improving vision for people with certain refractive errors. This outpatient procedure can correct myopia up to -10 diopters and astigmatism up to 6 diopters, but it may not be suitable for everyone due to potential risks such as corneal swelling or infection.

Transpupillary RNFL photocoagulation (Trans Prk) is a laser eye treatment used to prevent or slow down progressive damage in cases of retinal degeneration, including Age-related Macular Degeneration. The treatment aims at preserving vision in the affected eye.
Austria's healthcare system is known for its high quality and efficiency. The cost of Trans Prk varies but generally ranges between €3000 and €5000 including consultation, diagnostic tests, and follow-up appointments.
