TransPRK (Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy) is an advanced, no-touch version of traditional PRK that offers a more precise and comfortable experience. In TransPRK, a laser is used to remove both the outer corneal layer (epithelium) and reshape the underlying tissue in a single step, without the need for manual intervention. This all-laser, non-invasive approach reduces the risk of infection and speeds up recovery. Since no instruments touch the eye, it minimizes discomfort and offers greater accuracy in corneal reshaping. TransPRK is ideal for patients with thin corneas, and it provides the same long-term vision correction benefits as traditional PRK or LASIK.

What are the benefits of TRANS PRK?

TransPRK offers several key benefits, making it an attractive option for vision correction. One of the main advantages is that it’s a completely no-touch procedure, using a laser to remove the corneal epithelium and reshape the cornea in a single step, which reduces the risk of infection and flap-related complications. TransPRK is also highly precise, leading to improved accuracy in vision correction. Additionally, because no mechanical instruments are used, the procedure is gentler on the eye, resulting in faster healing and less discomfort during recovery. It is especially beneficial for patients with thin corneas or those involved in high-contact sports, as there’s no risk of flap displacement.
