    What is Trans PRK Surgery?

    Trans PRK (Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a surface laser vision correction procedure that uses an excimer laser to remove the corneal epithelium and reshape the underlying corneal tissue.

    Unlike conventional PRK, where the surface epithelial layer is removed using a separate technique, Trans PRK uses the laser in a controlled, touch-free approach. The cornea is then reshaped according to the patient’s refractive error to improve the way light focuses on the retina.

    Trans PRK does not involve creating a corneal flap, making it a flap-free option for suitable patients after a detailed eye examination.

    Why Choose Trans PRK?

    Touch-Free Laser Procedure

    Laser technology removes the corneal surface layer without manual instruments.

    No Corneal Flap

    Trans PRK corrects vision without creating a LASIK-style corneal flap.

    Surface Laser Correction

    The cornea is reshaped using controlled excimer laser treatment.

    Suitable for Selected Eyes

    It may be considered when flap-based procedures are not appropriate.

    Precise Laser Treatment

    Advanced laser technology enables controlled and accurate corneal reshaping.

    Personalised Treatment

    Treatment planning is based on individual vision and corneal characteristics.

    Who Can Benefit from Trans PRK Surgery

    Trans PRK may be considered for selected patients with suitable refractive errors after a comprehensive eye examination.

    Near-Sightedness
    (Myopia)

    SMILE effectively corrects myopia, helping you see distant objects more clearly while reducing dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

    Myopia with
    Astigmatism

    SMILE can also correct suitable cases of myopia with astigmatism, providing sharper and more comfortable vision.

    SMILE Eligibility Assessment

    A comprehensive eye examination helps determine whether your eyes are suitable for SMILE laser vision correction.

    Every patient undergoes a comprehensive eye examination

    to determine whether Trans PRK is the most appropriate vision correction option.

    Recovery After Trans PRK Surgery

    Is Trans PRK Right for You?

    Trans PRK may be suitable for adults with stable vision who want to reduce their dependence on glasses or contact lenses. It can be considered for selected cases of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, depending on the patient’s prescription, corneal thickness, corneal shape and overall eye health.

    A comprehensive eye examination is essential before treatment. Your ophthalmologist will assess your corneal measurements, eye health and visual requirements to determine whether Trans PRK is an appropriate vision correction procedure for you.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Frequently Asked Questions

    1. Is Trans PRK surgery painful?
    Anaesthetic eye drops are used before the procedure to numb the eye. Some discomfort, watering, light sensitivity or irritation may occur during the early healing period. Your ophthalmologist will provide appropriate post-operative medication and care instructions.
    2. How is Trans PRK different from LASIK?
    Trans PRK is a surface laser procedure that does not require creating a corneal flap. LASIK involves creating a corneal flap before reshaping the underlying corneal tissue. Your ophthalmologist can recommend the more suitable option after examining your eyes.
    3. How long does Trans PRK take?
    The laser treatment itself is usually completed within a short period. The overall appointment also includes preparation and post-treatment assessment. Your eye specialist will explain the expected treatment time during your consultation.
    4. How long does recovery take after Trans PRK?
    Recovery is generally slower than flap-based procedures because the corneal surface needs time to heal. Vision gradually improves during the following days and weeks, with the exact recovery period varying between patients.
    5. When can I return to work after Trans PRK?
    The time required before returning to work depends on your healing, occupation and visual comfort. Your ophthalmologist will advise when it is appropriate to resume work, driving, exercise and other daily activities.
    6. Will I still need glasses after Trans PRK?
    Trans PRK is designed to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses in suitable patients. However, individual results vary, and some patients may still require glasses for certain activities or later in life due to natural age-related changes in vision.
