It is used to treat myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness)\u00a0and\u00a0astigmatism\u00a0and reduces dependency on contact lenses and glasses. It is one of the quickest vision correction procedures and preferred over the LASIK surgery by many as it eliminates the risk of potential flap complications and is suitable even for those with thin

This machine is equipped with a zero latency tracker, allowing for safe and accurate treatment.<\/p><p>The procedure does not involve any surgical instrument touching the eye. First, the Schwind Amaris 1050RS laser starts off by removing the epithelium cells. Next, the laser reshapes the curvature of the cornea in a single step to correct refractive power. Once the cornea has been reshaped, a soft contact lens acting as an artificial cornea flap is placed over the cornea to protect it during the healing process.<\/p><p>It takes about 3 to 5 days for the epithelium cells to regenerate. After 5 days, the contact lenses are removed. To facilitate the healing process, patients are required to keep away from strong sunlight and use prescription eye drops for 6 to 10 weeks after the procedure. Full visual recovery typically takes about one to three months.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65aec68 e-con-full

All are widely recognised procedures for correcting myopia and astigmatism.<\/p><p>LASIK is known as the flap-and-zap method. During LASIK, a cut is made across the cornea such that a flap is created either by a metal oscillating blade or a Femtosecond laser. The flap is then lifted, and the laser correction will be applied to the underlying cornea tissue. After which, the flap is closed back without any form of stitches.<\/p><p>Epi-LASIK (Epi is short for epithelium), on the other hand, is a form of ablation where no cut is made to the cornea. During Epi-LASIK, the uppermost surface layer of cells \u2013 also known as the epithelium layer \u2013 is removed with a blunt oscillating blade made of metal or plastic! Laser correction is then applied to the underlying cornea. As the epithelium cells have regenerative properties, these cells will grow back on its own in 3-5 days.

Epi-LASIK takes approximately 5 to 6 minutes per eye while standard LASIK takes 10 to 15 minutes per eye. Epi-LASIK uses a microkeratome to scrap off the most superficial layer, the epithelium. In LASIK, a flap is cut with a blade or laser. Then, the laser treatment is applied both for Epi-LASIK and LASIK.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-1356\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"7\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-1356\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Will I be put to sleep during the surgery? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M285.476 272.971L91.132 467.314c-9.373 9.373-24.569 9.373-33.941 0l-22.667-22.667c-9.357-9.357-9.375-24.522-.04-33.901L188.505 256 34.484 101.255c-9.335-9.379-9.317-24.544.04-33.901l22.667-22.667c9.373-9.373 24.569-9.373 33.941 0L285.475 239.03c9.373 9.372 9.373 24.568.001 33.941z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-down\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-1356\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf32f57 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"cf32f57\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-1356\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6450091 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6450091\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0deeed4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0deeed4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_toggle et_pb_toggle_0 et_pb_toggle_item et_pb_toggle_open\"><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content clearfix\"><p>No, the procedure is done completely under numbing eye drops.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as risk-free surgery. All surgeries will have the risk of complications such as infections, inflammation and under\/over correction. However, such conditions rarely occur. Nevertheless, to ensure a problem free recovery, patients should also do their best by following the doctor\u2019s post-surgery instructions.<\/p><p>Because there is a cut made across the cornea, LASIK has the additional risk of flap complications. These include: flap infection, flap inflammation, risk of flap dislodgement caused by rubbing or a finger poke or sports injury. Another complication resulting from a cut flap is acute and chronic dry eye because of the thousands of tiny cornea nerve endings are being severed in the process of cutting the flap.<\/p><p>Epi-LASIK has the risk of cutting the substance of the cornea. This is because it \u201cpeels\u201d away the surface layer (Epithelium) of the cornea using a blunt metal or plastic blade, and then the Excimer laser treats the exposed area.<\/p><p>This is why TransPRK is so elegant. It only removes tissue that is absolutely necessary without any collateral damage. Healing is therefore quicker in TransPRK.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60bece1 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"60bece1\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9637adf elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-accordion\" data-id=\"9637adf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;default_state&quot;:&quot;all_collapsed&quot;,&quot;max_items_expended&quot;:&quot;one&quot;,&quot;n_accordion_animation_duration&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;ms&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:400,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-accordion\" aria-label=\"Accordion.

This condition usually improves with time.<\/p><p>Under-correction, over-correction, or astigmatism<\/p><p>In some cases, corrective eyewear or contact lenses may still be required for the few activities which are more visually demanding. This can be due to the way an individual\u2019s eye responds to the laser, or can be caused by variance in the way each eye heals after surgery. An enhancement procedure may be done in such cases.<\/p><p>Other Risks exceptional to TransPRK \u00a0<\/p><p>Haze which is a diffuse scarring of the lasered cornea can cause blurring of vision in a few people but this can be prevented with medication and good UV Eye protection after the surgery.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-1577\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"8\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-1577\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> What is the recovery time? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M285.476 272.971L91.132 467.314c-9.373 9.373-24.569 9.373-33.941 0l-22.667-22.667c-9.357-9.357-9.375-24.522-.04-33.901L188.505 256 34.484 101.255c-9.335-9.379-9.317-24.544.04-33.901l22.667-22.667c9.373-9.373 24.569-9.373 33.941 0L285.475 239.03c9.373 9.372 9.373 24.568.001 33.941z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-down\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-1577\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fbdce31 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"fbdce31\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-1577\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c89ae72 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c89ae72\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a297ad2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a297ad2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_toggle et_pb_toggle_0 et_pb_toggle_item et_pb_toggle_open\"><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content clearfix\"><p>3 days for the wound to close during which one feels uncomfortable.\u00a0 A special bandage contact lens will can be worn overnight for these few days will be placed on the eye to improve comfort and removed when the wound is closed.\u00a0Clarity of vision returns soon after but can take several weeks in some individuals.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TransPRK Home > &nbsp; Refractive Surgery > &nbsp; TransPRK TransPRK (Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy) TransPRK (transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy) is an advanced touch-free laser refractive surgery that involves the removal of the epithelium of the eye, without suction, flap or blade, or without the use of alcohol.
