PRK in Evanston, Illinois

The goal of PRK is to provide precise, quality vision by correcting the refractive errors of the eyes. PRK is suitable for individuals that are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism. With PRK, instead of creating a flap on the surface of the cornea, Dr. Kraff will use an instrument to gently brush off the surface cells of the cornea. Once the cells are removed, Dr. Kraff will then use the laser to reshape the cornea to improve your vision. Bandage contact lenses will be placed on the eyes to aid in healing and provide comfort while the surface cells regenerate. Once you've healed from PRK healed, patients can resume their normal day-to-day activities. Rest assured that Dr. Kraff always discusses the procedure and aftercare with his patients and is always happy to answer questions about post-op eye care.
