What is PRK & LASIK Eye Surgery?
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) and LASIK (Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis) are two of the most widely used laser vision correction procedures in the world. These treatments are designed to correct refractive errors such as:
- Myopia (near-sightedness)
- Hyperopia (far-sightedness)
- Astigmatism
These problems occur when the cornea does not bend light properly, causing blurred or distorted vision. PRK and LASIK correct this by reshaping the cornea using a precise laser so that light focuses correctly on the retina, giving you clear, sharp vision without glasses or contact lenses.
At Thakur Eye Hospital, we use advanced laser platforms and digital eye mapping systems to deliver high-precision, customized treatment for each patient. This ensures maximum safety, comfort, and long-term results.
How PRK & LASIK Improve Vision?
Laser vision correction is not the same for everyone. Suitability depends on factors such as age, prescription stability, corneal and retinal health, absence of active eye disease, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, and other medical considerations.
At Thakur Eye Hospital, patients undergo a detailed eye examination and corneal assessment before surgery. This helps our specialists determine whether PRK, LASIK or another vision-correction option may be most appropriate for the individual eye and visual requirements.
Medical Suitability for PRK
PRK is often recommended for patients who:
- Have thin corneas
- Suffer from dry eyes
- Have irregular corneal shape
- Work in defence, sports, or physically demanding jobs
Because PRK does not require creating a corneal flap (as in LASIK), it leaves the cornea structurally stronger, making it safer for patients with certain eye conditions or active lifestyles.
Lifestyle-Based Laser Eye Selection
At Thakur Eye Hospital, refractive-surgery planning is individualized. Corneal thickness and shape, refractive error, dry-eye status, occupation, contact-sport or trauma risk, visual requirements and lifestyle can all influence procedure selection.
Rather than assigning one procedure solely on the basis of occupation or spectacle power, our specialists assess the complete eye examination and discuss the relative advantages, limitations and recovery profile of the available options before recommending a treatment plan.
Pre-Surgery Preparation
Before PRK or LASIK, patients are guided through appropriate preparation. This may include temporarily stopping contact-lens wear as advised, avoiding eye makeup or creams before the procedure, undergoing the required eye measurements and scans, and sharing relevant medical history and medications.
These steps support accurate measurements, appropriate patient selection and individualized treatment planning.
When PRK May Not Be Suitable?
PRK may not be recommended if you have:
- Severe dry eyes
- Active eye infections
- Advanced corneal disease
- Uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune disorders
Our doctors perform a thorough evaluation before suggesting any laser procedure to ensure patient safety.
PRK Eye Surgery Procedure
The PRK procedure is quick, safe, and performed under numbing eye drops. The surgeon gently removes the thin surface layer of the cornea and then uses a laser to reshape the corneal tissue. A protective contact lens is placed to aid healing.
The procedure usually takes only a few minutes per eye and does not require stitches.
PRK vs LASIK vs Contoura Vision
PRK, LASIK and topography-guided treatment options such as Contoura Vision differ in corneal requirements, healing pattern, recovery profile and clinical suitability. The treatment approach is selected after reviewing corneal measurements, refractive error, eye health, visual requirements and lifestyle considerations.
Post-Surgery Care
After surgery, mild discomfort or blurred vision is normal for a few days. Prescribed eye drops prevent infection and promote healing. Follow-up visits ensure smooth recovery and stable vision.
