Much like LASIK, PRK is a LASER procedure which allows patients to see more clearly without glasses or contact lenses. This procedure uses the same iDesign 2.0 technology to help customize each treatment, resulting in the same visual outcome as a LASIK procedure. With LASIK, most patients can resume most of their normal day to day activities within 24 hours. With PRK, a patient should avoid activities such as working, driving, reading, exercising, or using a computer for 2 to 3 days following surgery. Dr. Kraff will review many factors when determining if LASER eye surgery is a safe and effective treatment option for a patient. When here for an initial consultation, Dr. Kraff will tell the patient which of the two surgeries he feels is safest based on their specific measurements and visual needs.
