A 100% contact-free laser correction
TransPRK, in detail
Trans-PRK (trans-epithelial photorefractive keratectomy) is a fully laser-based vision correction method that requires no contact with a surgical instrument. Once the procedure is complete, a contact lens is placed on your eyes and kept in place for a few days to ensure better comfort.
This procedure is fast, contact-free, non-invasive, safe, and gentle on the eyes.
The laser procedure takes place in two phases. It is fast (about 15 minutes) and painless.
PHASE 1: Access to the corneal treatment zone (by lifting the surface layer of the cornea).
PHASE 2: Reshaping the corneal curve with laser treatment (flattening it for nearsighted patients and increasing its curve for farsighted patients).
Its main advantages:
- Suited to very thin corneas or those with irregularity or asymmetry
- Suited to combat sports activities (boxing, karate, etc.)
- No contact with a surgical instrument, an all-laser technique
- Non-invasive, fast procedure that's gentle on the eyes
- Fast procedure (15 min)
- Eye-Tracker safety system. The laser follows the micro-movements of your eyes, ensuring extreme safety
- Favorable, reduced price
- Recovery in 7–10 days (a 10-day sick note is provided)
- Freedom and comfort: 100% clear distance vision over the long term
- Painless procedure. Anesthesia via simple numbing eye drops
Femtosecond LASIK is the procedure with the fastest visual recovery. After the first phase creates a corneal flap, the laser reshapes the curvature and thickness of the cornea to correct your vision.
Phakic lenses are intended for patients who cannot benefit from laser surgery, mainly due to a correction that is too high or a cornea that is too thin. In that case, a phakic lens placed inside the eye corrects the defect. In cases of presbyopia, the lens that has lost its accommodation is replaced with a multifocal lens that restores vision at any distance without glasses.
Bioptics: this refers to combining laser treatment (LASIK, Femtosecond LASIK, or PRK) with the intraocular implantation of lenses to correct high myopia.
