A Proven Path to Clear Vision—Without a Flap
If you’ve been told you’re not a candidate for LASIK, PRK may be a great alternative. PRK uses a similar approach to improve vision—but without creating a flap in the cornea—making it a strong option for patients with thinner corneas or specific eye considerations.
At Golden View Ophthalmology, Dr. Eugenia White will help you understand whether PRK is the right fit for your eyes and your goals.
What Is PRK?
PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) reshapes the surface of the cornea to improve how light focuses in your eye. It’s a different approach than LASIK—but with the same goal: clearer vision.
Who Is PRK Right For?
PRK may be recommended based on your eye anatomy. It’s not about better or worse—it’s about what’s right for your eyes.
What to Expect
Consultation
We’ll evaluate your eyes and confirm if PRK is the best option for your vision goals.
Procedure
A quick treatment performed with your comfort in mind.
Recovery
Recovery takes a bit longer than LASIK—vision improves gradually over several days to weeks as the eye heals.
A Different Recovery—With the Same Goal
The main difference with PRK is recovery time. While it takes a little longer for vision to fully stabilize, the end result is the same: clearer, more functional vision with less dependence on glasses or contacts.
We’ll guide you through each step so you know exactly what to expect—from the day of your procedure through the weeks of healing ahead. Most patients find the process very manageable and the long-term outcome well worth it.
