What is PKR Laser Eye Surgery?

PKR (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a type of laser eye surgery designed to correct refractive errors, such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. Unlike LASIK, PKR involves removing the outer layer of the cornea and reshaping the cornea directly with a laser, making it an excellent option for patients with thinner corneas or specific eye conditions.

Treatments for Refractive Errors

  • PKR Laser Eye Surgery
    A safe and effective procedure to reshape the cornea and improve vision without creating a corneal flap.
  • Consultation and Pre-operative Assessment
    Comprehensive evaluations to determine if PKR is the right choice for you.
  • Post-operative Care
    Follow-up visits and personalized care plans to ensure optimal recovery and results.

Symptoms Indicating the Need for PKR Laser Eye Surgery

  • Blurred or distorted vision
  • Difficulty seeing at night or in low light
  • Frequent changes in glasses or contact lens prescriptions
  • Eye strain or discomfort during visual tasks

Diagnosis for PKR Laser Eye Surgery

A thorough eye examination is essential to diagnose your specific refractive error and determine your suitability for PKR. Our experienced ophthalmologists will evaluate your vision, assess the health of your eyes, and measure corneal thickness to create a personalized treatment plan.

Recovery After PKR Laser Eye Surgery

Recovery from PKR typically involves a few days of rest, with most patients experiencing improved vision within a week. It’s essential to follow post-operative care instructions, including using prescribed eye drops and avoiding strenuous activities. Follow-up appointments will help monitor your healing and ensure the best outcomes.
