Topo-guided PRK is a refined laser procedure that sculpts your cornea for improved vision accuracy.
What Is Topo-Guided PRK?
Topo-guided PRK, or photorefractive keratectomy guided by corneal topography, refines your vision by tailoring the laser treatment to the distinct shape of your cornea. Traditional laser vision correction often applies a uniform adjustment, while topo-guided PRK precisely sculpts areas that need specialized attention.
During the procedure, your eye's outer epithelial layer is carefully removed, and a laser reshapes the corneal tissue based on the topographic data. This method can enhance clarity for patients with irregular corneas and reduce certain side effects, like halos or glare.
