TPRK
An advanced surface laser vision correction technique that uses an excimer laser to reshape the cornea and correct refractive errors like:
- Myopia (nearsightedness)
- Hyperopia (farsightedness)
- Astigmatism
How Does TPRK Work
No Mechanical Instruments
The laser removes the thin epithelial layer (outermost layer of the cornea) without using alcohol or blades.
Single-Step Laser
The same laser then reshapes the underlying cornea to correct the refractive error.
Natural Healing
The epithelium regenerates naturally within a few days.
Key Features of TPRK
No Flap Creation:
Unlike LASIK, no corneal flap is made, eliminating flap-related risks.
“No-Touch” Technology:
Entirely performed by the laser, reducing infection risk.
Ideal for Thin Corneas:
Suitable for patients who cannot undergo LASIK.
Reduced Dry Eye Risk:
Less nerve disruption compared to LASIK.
High Safety Profile:
Minimizes mechanical manipulation of the eye.
Recovery & Healing
Visual Recovery:
Slower than LASIK (usually 4–7 days to return to normal daily activities).
Discomfort:
Some mild pain or foreign-body sensation for a few days after surgery.
Eye Drops:
Prescribed for healing and comfort during recovery.
Who is TPRK For
- Patients with thin corneas (not eligible for LASIK).
- Individuals with active lifestyles or high-risk professions (e.g., military, contact sports) where flap complications are a concern.
- People who want a flapless, touch-free procedure.
Advantages of TPRK
✅ No flap complications
✅ Suitable for thin or irregular corneas
✅ Reduced dry eye risk
✅ Safer for trauma-prone patients

- Hyperopia (farsightedness)
