Cos'è PRK?
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a surface laser eye surgery that corrects myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism without creating a corneal flap. At MedProper Istanbul, PRK is the preferred alternative for patients with thinner corneas or those unsuitable for LASIK. The excimer laser reshapes the corneal surface directly, delivering the same long-term visual outcomes as LASIK with a slightly longer recovery period.
Come funziona PRK?
- 1Thorough pre-operative assessment including corneal thickness measurement, topography, and tear film analysis to confirm PRK suitability.
- 2Numbing drops are applied and the thin outer layer of the cornea (epithelium) is gently removed — no flap is created.
- 3An excimer laser precisely reshapes the exposed corneal surface according to your prescription, correcting the refractive error.
- 4A soft bandage contact lens is placed on the eye to protect the surface while the epithelium regenerates over 3-5 days.
- 5You are discharged the same day with medicated drops and detailed aftercare instructions.
Chi è un buon candidato per PRK?
- Adults with stable vision for at least 12 months who are not suitable for LASIK
- Patients with thin corneas (below the safe threshold for flap creation)
- People with large pupils or corneal irregularities that increase LASIK flap risk
- Active individuals in contact sports or professions where a corneal flap could be dislodged
- Those with myopia up to -8D, hyperopia up to +3D, or astigmatism up to 4D
Perché scegliere PRK da MedProper?
No Corneal Flap
Eliminates all flap-related risks — ideal for patients with thin corneas or physically demanding lifestyles.
Same Long-Term Results
PRK achieves identical visual outcomes to LASIK once fully healed, with equivalent 96%+ satisfaction rates.
Preserves Corneal Strength
By not cutting a flap, more corneal tissue remains intact, making PRK a structurally safer choice for borderline corneas.
Wider Candidacy
Many patients disqualified from LASIK due to thin corneas can safely undergo PRK.
Quali sono i tempi di recupero?
Days 1-3
Epithelial Healing
Mild discomfort and light sensitivity are expected while the surface heals under the bandage lens. Use prescribed drops regularly and rest your eyes.
Days 4-7
Bandage Lens Removal
The protective lens is removed at your follow-up visit. Vision is functional but still hazy as the surface continues to smooth.
Weeks 2-4
Vision Stabilisation
Vision progressively sharpens. Avoid swimming, dusty environments, and eye rubbing. Most patients achieve stable, clear vision within 2-4 weeks.
Months 1-3
Final Clarity
Any residual mild haze resolves. Final visual acuity is comparable to LASIK outcomes.

Domande Frequenti
PRK is recommended when your corneas are too thin for a safe LASIK flap, or if your lifestyle involves high-impact activities where a flap could be displaced. The final vision results are identical.
PRK involves mild discomfort for 2-3 days while the epithelium regenerates, compared to LASIK's near-instant comfort. Prescribed drops and the bandage lens minimise this effectively.
Most patients return to desk work within 5-7 days. Allow 2-3 weeks before activities requiring sharp vision. Your MedProper coordinator will plan your Istanbul stay accordingly.
Yes, the bilateral price covers the complete procedure for both eyes, including pre-operative examination, surgery, post-operative medications, and follow-up care.
Possibly, depending on your corneal health. Our ophthalmologists will evaluate your history and corneal measurements during the pre-operative assessment to determine eligibility.
