Vision Correction Procedures
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.
