Trans PRK vision correction: What to expect from start to finish
Considering vision correction surgery? Trans PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a leading choice for those seeking freedom from glasses or contact lenses. From initial consultation to final recovery, here’s a detailed guide on what to expect with Trans PRK surgery.
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with an initial consultation. Your eye surgeon will assess your vision, discuss your suitability for Trans PRK, and explain the procedure. This is your chance to ask questions and understand the potential outcomes and benefits of the surgery.
Pre-Surgery Preparation
Once deemed suitable, you'll undergo a thorough eye examination. Your eyes will be meticulously measured to map out each unique curvature and imperfection. It's crucial to stop wearing contact lenses at least a week before the surgery to allow your corneas to return to their natural shape.
Day of the Surgery
Trans PRK is performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning you can go home the same day. The surgery itself is quick, typically taking about 10 minutes per eye. Unlike traditional PRK, Trans PRK does not require a mechanical device to remove the epithelium; instead, it uses a laser from start to finish, enhancing precision and comfort.
During the Procedure
You’ll be awake during the surgery, with numbing drops applied to your eyes to ensure you feel no pain. The surgeon will use a laser to reshape the cornea, correcting refractive errors. The process is computer-controlled for accuracy, adjusting to your specific vision needs.
Post-Surgery Recovery
Immediately after the procedure, you might experience mild discomfort or a gritty sensation in your eyes, which is normal. Vision may be blurry at first but will improve significantly within the first week. It’s important to follow your surgeon’s instructions, use the prescribed eye drops to prevent infection and aid healing.
Follow-up Visits
You’ll have several follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and vision improvement. These check-ups are crucial to ensure a smooth recovery and address any concerns quickly.
Long-Term Results
Most patients experience significant improvements in their vision, often reaching 20/20 or even better. The results of Trans PRK are permanent, but you might need reading glasses as you age due to natural changes in your vision.
Why Choose Trans PRK?
Trans PRK is less invasive than other forms of refractive surgery and does not involve creating a corneal flap, which reduces the risk of complications and speeds up recovery time. It’s an excellent option for patients with active lifestyles or those who have thinner corneas.
