Book Constation Now
Is your child struggling to see the classroom board? Are distant objects appearing blurry while nearby vision remains clear? These could be signs of myopia (nearsightedness), one of the most common vision conditions affecting children and adults worldwide.
At Vista Care Clinic Abu Dhabi, we provide comprehensive myopia management solutions designed to not only correct vision but also help slow the progression of myopia.
The clinic offers comprehensive ophthalmology services, pediatric eye care, advanced diagnostics, and refractive surgery evaluations under expert specialist supervision.

What is Surface Ablation (PRK)?

Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) is a laser vision correction procedure that reshapes the cornea to improve how light focuses on the retina. Unlike LASIK, PRK does not require the creation of a corneal flap. Instead, the thin outer layer of the cornea is gently removed before laser treatment, allowing the cornea to heal naturally over time.
PRK can effectively treat:
  • Myopia (Nearsightedness)
  • Hyperopia (Farsightedness)
  • Astigmatism
  • Dependence on glasses and contact lenses

Who is a Suitable Candidate for PRK?

You may be a good candidate if you:
  • Have thin corneas
  • Have mild to moderate refractive errors
  • Are not an ideal candidate for LASIK
  • Participate in contact sports or activities with risk of eye trauma
  • Want a flap-free laser vision correction procedure
  • Have stable vision prescription
A detailed eye examination is necessary to determine your suitability for PRK.

Benefits of Surface Ablation (PRK)

Flap-Free Procedure

PRK does not involve creating a corneal flap, reducing flap-related risks.

Preserves Corneal Strength

The procedure removes less corneal tissue and may be preferred for patients with thinner corneas.

Excellent Long-Term Results

PRK provides visual outcomes comparable to LASIK for suitable candidates.

Suitable for Active Lifestyles

Often recommended for athletes, military personnel, and individuals at risk of eye injury.

What to Expect During PRK Surgery?

Comprehensive Eye Assessment

Advanced diagnostic testing is performed to evaluate your eye health and refractive error.

Customized Treatment Plan

A personalized treatment approach is developed based on your vision requirements.

Laser Vision Correction

The cornea is reshaped using an excimer laser to improve focusing ability.

Recovery and Follow-Up

A protective contact lens may be placed after surgery while the corneal surface heals. Regular follow-up visits help ensure proper recovery.
