Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is a type of refractive surgery used to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Similar to LASIK, PRK uses the Wavelight EX500™ excimer laser to reshape the cornea. The primary difference with PRK is that no flap is created. During your procedure, your eye will be numbed with eye drops. Your eye surgeon will place an eyelid holder on your eye to keep you from blinking. In contrast, your surgeon gently removes the outer layer of cells on your cornea, called the epithelium, using an alcohol solution.

In step two, you will be asked to focus on a light while your surgeon reshapes your cornea using an excimer laser. After the excimer laser treatment, the surgeon places a clear, soft contact lens, called a bandage contact lens, on the eye. These special bandage contact lenses do not contain any prescription correction but simply protect the eye and keep the patient comfortable while the epithelial cells grow back.

Your special corporate PRK price is $1850 per eye (usually $2450 per eye), including all pre and post-operative visits for 12 months. When you schedule your vision correction with us, you're saving $600 per eye ($1200 for both). *Discount is applied to new patients who've not had previous eye surgery or been diagnosed with an eye condition.

*We offer a complimentary comprehensive exam for new patients who have not had prior eye surgery, been diagnosed with cataracts or have a prior eye condition. During this exam, we will determine the best vision correction option for you.
