PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)

LASIK is not always the best option for some patients. Dr. Eisner offers a variety of surgical solutions to correct your vision. PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a laser procedure which, unlike LASIK , does not create a corneal flap. A different method of corneal preparation is required. The visual outcomes are identical, though the recovery may be longer. This procedure is appropriate in a variety of circumstances. If you are not a candidate for LASIK, you may still be a great candidate for PRK. Dry eyes, prior surgeries, thin corneas are a few of the conditions which dictate that a PRK may be the best option for you. If this is the case, we will discuss PRK in detail at your free consultion.
