How does PRK Work?

Dr. Matthew Russell explains how PRK works

The fundamental way that PRK works is by using an excimer laser, which is a very precise, low energy laser, to reshape or to sculpt the surface of the eye and change the focusing power of the cornea, and by that way, eliminating the vision problems that come from short-sightedness, long-sightedness, or astigmatism.

An excellent place to start when you’re thinking about laser vision correction is to go to our website and take the online suitability test. In that way, you can, in a detailed manner, find out whether you’re likely to be a good candidate for laser treatment and then take the next step to call us and make an appointment for a free assessment.

MBChB, FRANZCO

With over 15 years of experience and over 20,000 procedures performed, I enjoy the privilege of helping patients of all ages reclaim clear vision or preserve it for as long as possible.

Vision correction and high-precision cataract surgery hinge on the expertise and skill set of the provider who also has access to the most precise tools for the job. Ophthalmic surgeons like me know how to make treatment safe, comfortable and positive for the patient. They know how to minimise the risk of complications and maximise successful outcomes.
