What is TransPRK?
The Procedures

Numbing eye drops
TransPRK surgery is painless - numbing eye drops are applied before the procedure.

Removal of surface cells
The laser removes the outmost layer of cells. No surgical equipment or suction rings touch the eyes.

Reshaping of cornea
The laser then goes on to seamlessly reshape the corneal curvature - vision is now corrected!

Bandage contact lens
A bandage contact lens is placed over the eye to protect it during recovery; it will be removed after 5 days.
Advantages of TransPRK

Touch-free procedure

No risk of flap-related complication

Quick surgery

No blades or incisions

Tissue-saving procedure
Our Equipment

Corneal Topography Machine

Excimer Laser
An excimer laser is used for corneal stroma ablation of the to treat the refraction or ‘power’. Both the SCHWIND AMARIS and Bausch & Lomb TENEO laser machine can perform the no-touch TransPRK in a single step.
During FemtoLASIK, a femtosecond laser (VISUMAX 800) is used to create a flap on the cornea before the stromal ablation by excimer laser.
Any questions? We got you.
Yes, you should stop wearing your contact lenses before the assessment.
