PRK XTRA
PRK XTRA
Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) is often a preferred procedure for patients with borderline corneal thickness where it might not be safe to perform Lasik or SMILE. In some cases where an enhancement is needed or where the surgeon wants to strengthen the thin cornea, Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL) is performed in addition to PRK.
For therapeutic use, CXL can be used to stabilize conditions such as keratoconus, forme fruste keratoconus (an extremely mild or subclinical form of Keratoconus), and post-laser refractive surgery ectasia. Studies have shown that for about 95% of keratoconus patients, the cross-linking procedure prevents further vision loss and corneal weakening.
