PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)

PRK reshapes the surface of the cornea with a laser and does not create a flap. It suits patients with thinner corneas and people whose work or sport carries a risk of knocks to the eye. Recovery takes a little longer than LASIK, but the long-term result is similar for suitable eyes.

Patients seeking laser treatment in Mumbai with a thin cornea or an active lifestyle are assessed at Apex with mapping and thickness tests. The doctor explains the healing steps, including a few days of discomfort and a protective contact lens, so there are no surprises.
Risks include temporary discomfort, slower visual recovery and a small chance of haze or infection.

Apex provides laser vision correction for suitable patients:

  • Corneal Surface Assessment: Apex checks thickness and shape to confirm that PRK is the safer choice.
  • PRK Laser Correction: Apex performs flap-free laser correction of the prescription.
  • Healing Follow-Up: Apex monitors recovery with scheduled visits and prescribed drops.
