Photorefractive Keratectomy Benefits

Fortunately, there are numerous benefits of PRK, which have been validated over the years. First, the medical community estimates that around eighty percent of PRK patients do longer need any vision correct implements. This means that eighty percent of people no longer need to deal with the hassle of glasses or contact lenses.

Another benefit of PRK is that it is performed in an outpatient setting. The actual eye operation itself can be conducted in less than a minute.

A third benefit of this operation is that it can be used on patients who are unable to have Lasik. If you have a thin cornea or a damaged cornea, you can have PRK but you can not have Lasik.
