Wavefront-guided PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) is a refractive surgery technique that uses a personalized map of the eye, generated through wavefront analysis, to guide the excimer laser in reshaping the cornea. This advanced technology allows for highly customized treatment, addressing unique imperfections in the eye’s optical system and offering better results than traditional PRK.

Wavefront-guided PRK is particularly beneficial for patients with higher degrees of refractive errors or those who have irregular corneas. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and is effective in treating nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

This technique leads to improved visual clarity, reduced risk of post-surgery complications, and a faster recovery compared to traditional PRK methods.
