Advanced PRK
Why Choose Flapless No-Cut LASIK?
Flapless No-Cut LASIK (Advanced PRK) is a revolutionary approach to laser eye surgery that eliminates the need to create a corneal flap, significantly reducing the risks associated with traditional LASIK. This advanced technique leaves the cornea stronger and thicker, providing a safer and more stable long-term solution for vision correction.
With Flapless LASIK, patients experience fewer complications and exceptional vision improvement. For those seeking the safest and most effective method of laser eye surgery, Flapless No-Cut LASIK offers a clear advantage, combining cutting-edge technology with proven results.
Traditional LASIK vs. Advanced PRK
Which Procedure Is
Right for You?
Traditional LASIK
- Corneal Flap Required: A flap is created in the cornea, which may pose risks if dislodged or improperly healed.
- Faster Initial Vision Recovery: Vision improvement often occurs quickly, typically within the first 24 hours after surgery.
- Shorter Procedure Time: The overall surgery time is typically shorter since it involves immediate reshaping of the underlying corneal tissue.
Advanced PRK
- No Flap Creation: Eliminates the need to cut a corneal flap, reducing risks such as flap dislocation or infection.
- Natural Healing Process: The cornea regenerates naturally without the need to heal a flap, leading to smoother recovery.
-
Better for Thin Corneas: Safer for patients with thin corneas, who may not be good candidates for traditional LASIK.

Six Facts About LASIK Surgery
Quick Procedure
LASIK surgery typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete, with most of the time spent on preparation.
Fast Recovery
Many patients experience improved vision within 24-48 hours and can resume normal activities in just a few days.
Permanent Vision Correction
LASIK offers long-lasting results by permanently reshaping the cornea to correct vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Painless
Anesthetic eye drops are used to ensure the procedure is painless.
High Success Rate
LASIK surgery has an over 99% success rate.
All-Laser Technology
Modern LASIK procedures use advanced all-laser techniques, eliminating the need for blades, which enhances precision and safety for patients.
