Advanced Surface Ablation (PRK)

PRK PRK eye surgery provides an excellent alternative treatment option for patients that have myopic, hyperopic, and astigmatic visual errors. PRK and LASIK are similar in many ways, as they are both advanced laser vision correction treatments. Recent developments in PRK have greatly shortened the recovery time and have made the procedure more comfortable. Utilizing advanced Wavefront technology, the PRK treatment is tailored to the unique vision correction needs of each patient. Custom PRK eye surgery  not only corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, but also treats higher order aberrations that affect the quality of vision. Higher order aberrations may be associated with glare, halos, double vision, and difficulty seeing at night. Because PRK does not involve the creation of a corneal flap, this treatment is preferred for patients with specific corneal conditions. Yankelove Cataract and Laser Specialists understand that choosing your surgeon is probably the most important factor when considering laser vision correction. Patients who are treated by Dr. Yankelove enjoy an increase in self-confidence and expanded recreational and employment opportunities. As a result, treated PRK patients are able to further pursue careers in law enforcement, aviation, and the military that are unavailable to people who need corrective lenses. It would be our pleasure to determine whether PRK eye surgery or LASIK would be the best treatment for you.
