Smart TransPRK is an enhanced version of the traditional PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) procedure. It has 4 main benefits: 1. Retains the most residual corneal thickness compared to other refractive procedures. This means you have a more stable cornea, with less risk of keratoconus etc. 2. No flap. This is very important as a corneal flap is associated with many serious complications, all of which are completely avoided with Smart TransPRK. 3. No touch. Only a speculum is used to hold your eye lids open during the procedure, no other instruments touch your eyes. 4. Single step. The Amaris 1050RS can complete the procedure in a single step, significantly reducing the procedure time, leading to better visual outcomes and patient experience. The concern most people have regarding this surgery is the post-operative discomfort experienced as the epitheium grows back over a couple of days. Traditional PRK was a very painful procedure but the advancement in technology has made this procedure much more tolerable.
