Curious about what PRK eye surgery is and how it differs from LASIK? This informative post from Shree Retina Care explains that PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) reshapes the cornea without creating a flap—making it ideal for people with thin corneas or active lifestyles. It covers how the procedure works (removes the epithelium, uses excimer laser, and healing takes a few days), typical recovery (blurry vision that gradually clears over weeks to months) and common benefits like lasting vision improvement and reduced flap-related complications.
