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.
What Happens During the Procedure?
Anaesthetic Eye Drops
Numbs the eye for comfort
Laser Creates Lenticule
The excimer laser removes the corneal surface layer in a controlled manner.
Cornea is Reshaped
Laser treatment reshapes the cornea according to the planned correction.
Protective Lens
A soft bandage contact lens may be placed to support surface healing.
Healing & Clearer Vision
The corneal surface heals gradually as vision improves and stabilises.
Recovery After Trans PRK Surgery
- Vision gradually improves as the corneal surface heals.
- Mild discomfort, watering or light sensitivity may occur during the early recovery period.
- A protective bandage contact lens may be used as advised by the ophthalmologist.
- Avoid rubbing the eyes and follow prescribed medication instructions carefully.
- Return to work and normal activities depends on individual healing and the doctor's advice.
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.
