Advanced PRK
Advanced PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a highly effective laser eye surgery designed for patients who may not be suitable candidates for LASIK due to thin corneas or other conditions. Unlike LASIK, PRK removes the outer layer of the cornea before reshaping it with an excimer laser, offering precise vision correction without creating a corneal flap.
Is Advanced PRK Right for You?
Advanced PRK may be the ideal option if you have thinner corneas or are not a candidate for LASIK.
It’s suitable for patients with nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism and offers long-term vision correction without the need for a corneal flap.
If you lead an active lifestyle or are concerned about corneal thickness, PRK could be a safer choice for you.
Schedule a consultation with Liberty Laser Eye Center to determine if Advanced PRK is the right solution for your vision needs.

What Our Patients are Saying
Reviews of Liberty Laser Eye Center
I consider this the best investment I've ever made in myself, no question about it. The freedom of just rolling out of bed and being able to see is something I'll never take for granted.
My husband was so skeptical, but even he has to admit the results are incredible. We just got back from a vacation and not dealing with contact solution or glasses cases was so freeing.😊😍!
My sister had been bugging me to do this for years and I finally caved. Waking up and actually seeing the alarm clock clearly is a weird little miracle I get to experience every morning.
I was honestly pretty nervous, but the entire team made me feel so comfortable the whole time. It's crazy how quick the whole thing was and now my vision is better than it's ever been
My job requires me to be on the computer all day and the eye strain was getting brutal. Getting LASIK felt like upgrading my own personal hardware, and it's been worth every single penny.
I was pretty skeptical about the whole "life-changing" thing people say about LASIK. But dude, Liberty Laser proved me completely wrong. Binning my last bottle of contact solution felt like a ceremonial act of freedom. It's the little things, like seeing the shower knob clearly, that make it so worth it.
I was honestly tired of my glasses sliding down my nose every five minutes. The entire team at Liberty Laser made the whole LASIK process way less scary than I built it up to be. My only regret is not doing this years ago. Waking up and actually being able to see the alarm clock is a weirdly amazing feeling.
