Photorefractive Keratectomy Or PRK

What is Photorefractive Keratectomy or PRK?

In PRK, the epithelium is removed either mechanically, chemically, or by laser. After removal of the central corneal epithelium, the excimer laser is used to remove corneal stroma over the entrance pupil. The laser can alter the anterior corneal curvature to modify a refractive error by varying the ablation pattern.
