PKR: The solution for thin corneas
PRK is a laser refractive surgery, ideal for patients with thin corneas or moderate visual defects. During your initial consultation, a comprehensive assessment will evaluate your cornea and your visual needs. If PRK is the best option, we will support you throughout the preparation process.
TransPKR: An innovative approach using 100% laser technology
TransPKR is an advanced version of PKR. Non-invasive and fully automated, it does not involve any manual manipulation. Thanks to this cutting-edge technique, the excimer laser performs the procedure with precision, removing the epithelium and reshaping the cornea in a single step. It is particularly suitable for patients with thin corneas or who are reluctant to undergo manual techniques.

Procedure
The procedure takes about 20 minutes for both eyes. After local anesthesia, an excimer laser reshapes the surface of the cornea. Unlike LASIK, it is not necessary to create a corneal flap.
Advanced technology
The Teneo laser uses real-time eye tracking and iris recognition for optimal precision, ensuring perfect synchronization with the SIRUS topographer to eliminate any risk of error.
What are the postoperative procedures following refractive surgery?
After the operation, you may experience slight discomfort for a few days, with a protective lens placed over the eye. Your vision will gradually improve, reaching optimal sharpness within 1 to 2 weeks.
What results can be expected after PKR refractive surgery?
LASIK can correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia, providing stable and long-lasting visual acuity.
