Photorefractive Keractomy

Photorefractive Keratectomy also known as PRK is a type of refractive surgery to correct several common vision problems including myopia or nearsightedness, hyperopia also called farsightedness and astigmatism. LASIK has replaced PRK as the preferred form of this procedure, and Dr. Herschitz is equipped to perform diagnostic treatment to discover if you might be a candidate for this treatment.

Photorefractive Keratectomy was the first type of laser eye surgery for vision correction and is the predecessor to the popular LASIK procedure. A laser is used to reshape sculpt and correct the shape of the lens of your eye and usually can be done as an outpatient with minimally invasive results.
