One factor that affects the cost of surgery is whether you have a traditional PRK procedure or Custom PRK. Custom PRK utilizes mapping software which helps Dr.Kraff pinpoint the exact amount of corneal tissue that will need to be removed during surgery based on the patient’s specific and unique structural characteristics. Custom PRK cost, or wavefront PRK cost, is a small price to pay for peace of mind knowing that your procedure is being tailored to your exact visual needs.
The PRK treatment cost here at our practice is a global fee. It includes your pre-operative measurements that are taken prior to surgery and include the use of the iDesign 2.0 software. This software is the most advanced way of mapping and screening the cornea.

When you look at the PRK average cost compared to what you spend yearly on glasses, contact lenses, and doctor visits, you will see that PRK is the more cost-saving option.
