A Life-Changing Vision Correction Solution
Are you tired of struggling with blurred vision, discomfort from contact lenses, or the inconvenience of glasses? Do you have thin corneas or concerns about LASIK flap complications? If so, PRK surgery (Photorefractive Keratectomy) might be the perfect solution for you.
At Excel Laser Vision Institute, we specialize in PRK surgery in Los Angeles and Orange County under the care of Harvard-trained refractive surgeon, Dr. Ferzaad Moosa.
Is PRK Right for You? Addressing Your Pain Points
Many patients avoid vision correction because they fear long recovery times, pain, or complications. But if you’re experiencing these common challenges, PRK surgery could be a life-changing solution:
- Struggling with blurry vision – Are you frustrated with constantly cleaning glasses or dealing with fogging?
- Uncomfortable contact lenses – Do your eyes feel irritated, dry, or tired after wearing contacts all day?
- Dry eyes – Do you suffer from chronic dry eye syndrome, making contact lenses or LASIK less ideal?
- Told you’re not a LASIK candidate? – If you have thin corneas or high prescriptions, PRK may be your best alternative.
- Worried about LASIK flap complications? – PRK does not require a corneal flap, reducing risks of long-term issues.
- Concerned about an active lifestyle? – Athletes, military personnel, and those in high-contact sports benefit from PRK’s stronger corneal integrity.
If any of these vision struggles sound familiar, PRK surgery can give you the freedom of clear vision—without the ongoing hassle of glasses or contacts.
What is PRK Surgery?
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is the first-ever laser eye surgery developed for vision correction. It works by removing the thin outer layer of the cornea (epithelium) and reshaping the underlying corneal tissue using an excimer laser. Over time, the epithelium regenerates, allowing for clear, sharper vision.
Unlike LASIK, PRK does not involve creating a corneal flap, making it an ideal option for patients with thin corneas or those at risk of flap-related complications.
How PRK Surgery May Solve Your Vision Problems
- Safe for patients with thin corneas – PRK is a better option than LASIK for those who may not have enough corneal thickness.
- No risk of corneal flap complications – Since PRK doesn’t require a flap, there’s no chance of flap displacement or healing issues.
- Less dry eye risk – Ideal for patients already suffering from dry eye syndrome.
- Stronger corneal integrity – PRK preserves more corneal strength, making it a better choice for athletes, military personnel, or those with active lifestyles.
- Effective for high prescriptions – PRK is often recommended for patients with higher nearsightedness or astigmatism.
- Permanent vision correction – No more contact lens discomfort or constant dependence on glasses.
PRK vs. LASIK: What’s the Difference?
While PRK and LASIK both aim to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, PRK is often the preferred choice for certain patients:
- No Corneal Flap – Unlike LASIK, PRK removes the epithelium rather than creating a flap, reducing complications.
- Longer Recovery Time – PRK recovery takes a few days to weeks compared to LASIK’s faster healing process.
- Better for Dry Eyes – PRK does not disrupt corneal nerves as much as LASIK, minimizing dry eye symptoms.
- Ideal for High-Risk Professions – Athletes, military, and first responders benefit from PRK’s stronger corneal stability.

Frequently Asked Questions About PRK Surgery
The procedure itself is virtually painless, as numbing eye drops are used. You may experience mild discomfort for a few days after surgery as the epithelium regenerates.
Most patients notice improved vision within a week, but full recovery can take several weeks to months, depending on the degree of correction needed.
Most patients take 3 to 7 days off work to allow initial healing.
PRK is better for patients with thin corneas, high prescriptions, or dry eyes, while LASIK has a faster recovery time.
Most patients achieve 20/20 vision or better, but results vary based on individual eye health and prescription.
