Discover how PRK or LASEK can transform your vision, offering a safe and effective alternative to glasses or contacts for a clearer, brighter future.
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) and LASEK (Laser-Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy) are types of refractive eye surgery designed to improve vision by reshaping the cornea. Both procedures use laser technology to treat common vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Unlike LASIK, these methods do not involve creating a flap in the cornea, making them ideal for patients with thinner corneas or other eye conditions that may not be suitable for LASIK.
This is a single step “no-touch” process where the laser both removes the epithelial layer and changes the corneal shape. This results in less pain than LASEK, along with enhanced precision and a faster recovery of the patient’s eyesight.
The design, development and study of this Transepi-PRK option on the Bausch & Lomb Teneo excimer laser was performed at Centre for Sight. Teneo Transpeithelial PRK is being used with considerable enthusiasm by fellow ophthalmologists world-wide. Centre for Sight is pleased to have been so integrally involved in this technique that is of such great benefit to patients.

PRK/LASEK is often recommended for individuals who:
Recovery from PRK/Lasek takes slightly longer than LASIK. While many patients can resume light activities after 3-5 days, it may take up to a week before returning to work or more strenuous activities. Vision improvements typically begin within the first week, but full visual clarity can take several weeks or longer as the cornea fully heals.
As with any surgery, PRK/LASEK comes with potential risks, including:
Yes, both eyes are typically treated during the same session. However, in some cases, surgeons may recommend treating one eye at a time to monitor healing and optimise results. This decision depends on the patient’s specific needs and overall health.
