Discover the Power of PRK Surgery

If you’re tired of dealing with the hassle of glasses and contact lenses and dream of waking up daily with clear vision, you’re in the right place. Hoopes Vision is proud to offer PRK surgery, a safe and effective way to improve your vision and enhance your quality of life.

What is PRK Surgery?

PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a type of laser vision correction surgery that uses a precise laser to reshape the cornea and correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. During the procedure, the surgeon removes the cornea’s outer layer before using the laser to reshape it. The cornea then heals naturally, improving vision without needing glasses or contact lenses.

PRK vs. LASIK

While PRK and LASIK are effective types of laser vision correction surgeries, they differ in how the surgeon prepares the cornea for the laser. In LASIK surgery, the surgeon creates a flap in the cornea and then uses a laser to reshape it. The flap is then replaced, and the cornea heals around it. While LASIK has a shorter recovery time, PRK is a better option for patients with thin corneas or other corneal irregularities.

Experience the Benefits of PRK Surgery

PRK surgery offers many benefits, including improved vision without needing glasses or contacts, a quick and relatively painless procedure, a low risk of complications or side effects, and a long-lasting solution to refractive errors.

Expect Incredible Outcomes

After PRK surgery, most patients experience significantly improved vision within a few days, with full results typically achieved within a few weeks. You can expect clearer, sharper vision, and reduced reliance on glasses or contact lenses. Our team of experienced surgeons and staff will work with you to ensure that you have a smooth and successful recovery.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Before the procedure, you’ll meet with one of our experienced surgeons for a thorough examination and to discuss your goals and expectations. During the procedure, numbing drops will be administered for your comfort and our surgeon will use a laser to reshape your cornea. The procedure typically takes around 15 minutes per eye, and you’ll be able to return home the same day.
