TransPRK corrects refractive errors (shortsightedness, longsightedness, astigmatism) by using a single step laser to safely and precisely removing a thin layer off the cornea. After the procedure, a high oxygen soft contact lens is placed on the eye as a protection and to help with the recovery process. After 4-5 days, the contact lens is removed and as the cornea continues to recover, vision gradually improves.
