Why University Students Are Choosing Trans PRK at the Goldberg Centre for Laser Eye Surgery
University life is fast-paced, screen-heavy, and often financially tight. Wearing glasses or contact lenses adds unnecessary hassle to an already demanding schedule. That’s why more and more students are turning to Trans PRK—a modern, flapless laser eye surgery offered by The Goldberg Centre, Toronto’s trusted name in vision correction.
If you’re a student juggling lectures, labs, and late-night study sessions, here’s why Trans PRK at the Goldberg Centre might be the smartest decision you make for your eyes.
What Is Trans PRK and How Does It Work?
Trans PRK (Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a no-cut laser eye surgery that uses an advanced excimer laser to gently remove the thin outer layer of the cornea and reshape the underlying tissue to correct your vision.
Unlike LASIK, Trans PRK requires no corneal flap, making it safer for those with active lifestyles or thinner corneas—common among younger patients.

5 Reasons University Students Should Consider Trans PRK
1. No More Glasses or Contacts
Forget foggy lenses during winter commutes, or losing a contact before a midterm. With Trans PRK, you’ll have clear, unassisted vision—day and night.
2. Safe for Active and Sporty Lifestyles
Whether you’re playing intramural sports, practicing yoga, or hitting the gym, Trans PRK eliminates the risk of dislodging a corneal flap, which is a concern with traditional LASIK.
3. Screen-Time Ready
Staring at screens during lectures or all-nighters? Dry eyes are a common issue with contacts. Trans PRK helps reduce this discomfort long-term.
4. Perfect for Student Budgets
The Goldberg Centre offers competitive pricing, flexible payment plans, and long-term savings when you ditch the recurring cost of contacts, glasses, and prescription updates.
💡 Tip: Use your student insurance benefits or Health Spending Accounts (HSA) to reduce costs!
