PRK HOUSTON
What is PRK?
PRK is essentially LASIK without the flap. The acronym PRK stands for photorefractive keratectomy. An excimer laser is used to reshape your cornea during PRK. And, as with LASIK, the visual results will be spectacular. The only "downside" is that the visual recovery time of PRK is slightly longer.

Is PRK safer than LASIK?
Millions of people have enjoyed the benefits of LASIK and PRK. PRK is more appropriate for certain types of eyes. PRK can correct irregularities that LASIK cannot correct. Dr. Sura frequently recommends PRK to patients with thinner corneas, irregular scarring, or keratoconus who have already undergone crosslinking.
“PRK is another favorite and successful vision correction surgery. It is better suited to people with a tendency for dry eye or with thin corneas.”
How it works.
A thin layer of the surface of your cornea will be gently removed during PRK. Following that, an excimer laser will reshape your cornea based on specific calculations. Small laser pulses correct any refractive errors in seconds. Each eye is fitted with a protective bandage contact lens to provide extra comfort during the healing process.
It starts with a PRK consult.
At SuraVision, you will find so much more than a basic PRK screening. Your SuraVision Ocular Analysis is the most in-depth eye exam you've ever experienced. You will meet personally with Dr. Sura, your surgeon. He will review your scans, explain your options, and answer all your questions. You will be empowered to choose the ideal vision correction procedure for your unique eyes and lifestyle.
How much does PRK Eye Surgery cost?
Your PRK investment with SuraVision is $2800 per eye, or $5600 for both eyes. We are the only Texas practice to publish its real PRK price. Think of it this way: After PRK you’ll “own” your vision instead of “renting” it from the contacts or eye glass industry. When you invest in vision correction you are investing in yourself.
How much are glasses and contacts costing you?
The average person spends $25,000+ on glasses, contact lenses, solution, eye exams, etc. It’s like renting your vision from the glasses and contacts lenses industry. Worst of all, these will NEVER correct your vision. Use our affordability calculator and see how much you can save by getting PRK.
