PRK
Vision correction surgery
PRK stands for photorefractive keratectomy, a laser eye surgery that reshapes the cornea to correct vision.
Unlike LASIK, PRK removes the outer layer of the cornea entirely rather than creating a flap.
Recovery takes longer, but PRK is sometimes preferred for patients with thin corneas or certain occupations where eye trauma is a risk.
