Effect of Trans PRK on Tear Film stability

Trans PRK is a type of refractive surgery that can correct vision problems and eliminate the need for glass or contact lenses. It’s fast—even faster than LASIK. Dr. Katzman said it takes less than five minutes per eye. The procedure itself is also easier to tolerate/less painful than LASIK. Results are long-lasting. One Trans PRK treatment may be all you need for your lifetime depending on how old you are at your first treatment. Some people need a follow-up “enhancement” procedure but oftentimes it’s needed in only one of the eyes. It’s an effective option for anyone who isn’t an ideal candidate for LASIK surgery or other refractive eye procedures. Unlike LASIK there’s no risk of corneal flap complications (because there is no flap).
