  • Q Will my visual acuity regress after the surgery?
    A
    With all types of refractive surgery, there is a risk of regression. It is more likely with high myopia, as the surgery ablates more of the cornea. Compared to other types of refractive surgery, smart TransPRK maintains the most residual corneal thickness, with the lowest risk of regression.
  • Q Do complications occur 10 years after the surgery?
    A
    Refractive surgery has progressed dramatically over the past decade. Most of the complications that occured with previous procedures are no longer an issue. Smart TransPRK procedure creates a smooth, and structurally stable cornea that produces good visual outcomes, with minimal risk of complications.
  • Q Can the surgery fail? Is there a risk of poor visual acuity, glare or loss of sight?
    A
    As part of the initial consultation, we will do a comprehensive examination of your eyes. If the doctor concludes that surgery is appropriate for you, you will very likely get a good visual outcome.
