PRK / LASEK Eye Laser Treatment: A Contactless Solution for Your Eye Health
Wearing glasses or contact lenses can be a situation that makes daily life difficult for many people. Laser treatments that aim to permanently correct vision defects offer very effective solutions in this sense. However, each individual’s eye structure is different and some people may not be suitable for surgical incision methods such as classic LASIK. This is where PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) and LASEK (Laser Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy), which have been developed especially for individuals with thin corneal structures, come into play. These two laser methods aim to correct vision problems without damaging eye health with surface procedures without making an incision in the cornea. PRK and LASEK are among the FDA-approved and widely preferred methods that have been safely applied for many years. These treatments offer an ideal solution especially for occupational groups with a high risk of trauma, those who do active sports, and individuals whose corneal thickness is not suitable for LASIK. Supported by non-contact laser technologies, these applications protect the surface of the eye and provide a minimally invasive healing process. PRK and LASEK stand out as safe and effective options for improving both vision quality and increasing the comfort of life of individuals.
- Since it is a non-cutting and non-contact method, it minimizes surgical risks.
- It is an ideal treatment option for people with thin corneal structures.
- It is among the FDA-approved methods that have been used safely for a long time.
- It is a safe choice for active athletes and those exposed to physical impact.
- It permanently corrects refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.
What is PRK / LASEK?
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) and LASEK (Laser Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy) are laser vision correction methods used to correct refractive errors in the eye. Both methods aim to increase the focusing power of the eye by intervening in the surface layer of the cornea. While PRK completely removes the epithelial layer on the surface of the cornea and performs laser shaping, LASEK softens and removes the epithelial layer with a special alcohol solution and places it back in place after the treatment.
These methods have been developed as an alternative to more invasive laser surgeries such as LASIK and offer safe and effective options, especially for people with thin corneas and insufficient corneal thickness. PRK and LASEK provide the opportunity to permanently correct common refractive errors such as myopia (near-sightedness), hyperopia (near-sightedness) and astigmatism.
Both treatments are performed without incision, without contact and without pain. The recovery process after the procedure may be slightly longer than LASIK; however, the results are generally equally successful. The most appropriate method is determined by the specialist physician, taking into account your eye health and corneal structure. PRK and LASEK are among the reliable and proven laser eye treatment techniques preferred by millions of people around the world today.
How is PRK / LASEK Performed?
PRK and LASEK applications are performed by intervening with a laser on the surface layer of the cornea in order to correct refractive errors in the eye. The procedure is usually performed by numbing your eye with local anesthetic drops, and is painless and comfortable.
In the PRK application, the epithelial layer on the outer surface of the cornea is completely cleaned as the first step. Then, the corneal tissue is precisely reshaped according to the patient’s needs using an advanced excimer laser device. In this way, the focusing ability of the eye is corrected and the quality of vision increases. After the procedure is completed, the epithelial layer begins to regenerate on its own.
In the LASEK method, the thin epithelial layer on the cornea is softened and carefully removed with the help of a special alcohol solution. Then, the cornea is shaped with the excimer laser and the epithelial layer is placed back in place after the procedure. In this way, the natural protective layer of the cornea is preserved as much as possible.
In both methods, the procedure time is usually around 10-15 minutes and the patient can return home the same day. After the procedure, protective contact lenses can be applied to protect your eyes and support the healing process. In addition, you should use eye drops recommended by your doctor throughout the healing process.
PRK and LASEK are effective and safe vision correction methods preferred in patients with low corneal thickness or those who are not suitable for laser treatment. Your specialist physician determines the most appropriate method according to your eye structure and health condition and informs you about the entire process.
PRK / LASEK Frequently Asked Questions
While the epithelial layer on the surface of the cornea is completely removed in PRK, this layer is softened with alcohol and placed back in place after the procedure in LASEK. LASEK focuses more on preserving the epithelium.
Both procedures are usually completed within 10-15 minutes and are painless.
Complete healing of the epithelial layer occurs within 3-5 days in PRK and approximately the same period in LASEK. There may be mild discomfort during this process.
For the first few days, rubbing the eyes should be avoided, drops prescribed by the doctor should be used regularly and sunglasses should be worn. Check-ups should not be neglected and the doctor’s recommendations should be followed.
Initial clarity usually begins within 1-2 weeks, but full clarity occurs within several months.
It is suitable for anyone with suitable eye structure and corneal thickness, over the age of 18, and stable refractive error. Your doctor determines the most appropriate method with examination.
PRK and LASEK, when applied by experienced specialists, improve your vision quality and allow you to live your life more comfortably and freely. We are here to help you achieve the best results with modern techniques that prioritize your health and safety.
