[SYDNEY, 15/02/16] ? the Australian Institute of Eye Surgery, a leading eye clinic in the area, is offering the Trans PRK (Trans Epithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy) ?No Touch? Laser Eye Surgery. The procedure is an advanced alternative to other laser eye surgeries, like LASIK and LASEK.

Trans PRK Laser Eye Surgery

The procedure is a single-step treatment that corrects mild to moderate astigmatism, nearsightedness and farsightedness. The all-laser surgery keeps the eye from being in contact with other instruments. Trans PRK Laser Eye Surgery uses the Schwind Amaris Laser System, making the ?no touch? procedure possible.

The laser removes the surface tissue during the procedure. It reshapes the underlying cornea according to the patient?s refractive error. At the end of the treatment, doctors place a contact lens on the surface of the patient?s cornea. The lens needs to be in place for 3 days.

Candidates for Trans PRK Laser Eye Surgery

Those who have astigmatism, nearsightedness and farsightedness may want to consider the procedure. It does not have restrictions on age. Pregnant and nursing women, however, are not good candidates for surgery. Some eye problems come with hormonal changes during pregnancy, so treatment may not be necessary.

Recovery

The Australian Institute of Eye Surgery estimates a recovery period of three days to one week. The clinic recommends working patients to take a week off following the surgery. Depending on the patient?s needs, recovery periods vary. Normally, the patient sees initial improvements within one month of having the procedure.
