PRK - Photorefractive Keratectomy in Austria

What is Photorefractive Keratectomy?

PRK is one of the treatment methods that can be applied in patients with refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, but the cornea is not thick enough for LASIK treatment. In PRK treatment, the valve in the standard LASIK is not removed, the epithelial layer on the corneal surface is scraped and the excimer laser is applied to the underlying tissue and the cornea is reshaped. People who are over the age of 18 and have not found any change in refractive error in the last 1 year are candidates for this treatment and it can be understood with a detailed eye examination whether PRK can be applied or not. To reduce the feeling of postoperative pain, an unnumbered soft contact lens is placed on your eye.

What is Eye Health?

Eye diseases that limit vision and occur in the eye are called eye diseases. Eye diseases can be genetic or may occur due to some environmental factors. Eye defects are determined by a number of tests performed by doctors. If the person tested as a result of the symptoms has any eye disease, the necessary treatment methods are applied. Eye drawing treatment can be applied to people who have problems such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism. Excimer Laser treatment has taken its place in the medical world as a reliable method with clear rules and results. Since the early 1980s, millions of people have been freed from the restrictions created by the use of glasses and contact lenses in their social and professional lives as treatment with this method. With the developing technology, cornea surgeries can now be performed using Intralase Laser technology.
