Refractive Surgery PKR - Doctor Ancel

PKR (photorefractive keratectomy) is a surgical technique using the excimer laser to treat low to moderate ametropia. It is recommended when LASIK is contraindicated, particularly in cases of too thin or asymmetric corneas. The operation involves removing the epithelium of the cornea to allow the laser to reshape the corneal surface. Although the results are comparable to those of LASIK, recovery is generally longer and less comfortable.
