Excimer Laser Surgery Seattle, Washington

Sound Eye and Laser employs the most state-of-the-art Photo Refractive Keratectomy (PRK) and Excimer laser surgery techniques available in the Seattle, Washington area. Our surgeons use PRK and Excimer laser surgery technology to correct vision by reshaping the cornea. The difference between Photo Refractive Keratectomy and conventional LASIK is as follows: In LASIK, a corneal flap is created and the Excimer laser is applied to the inner tissue of the cornea. With PRK, the epithelium (outer portion of the cornea) is removed and a laser is applied to the surface of the cornea. Photo Refractive Keratectomy is often used to correct low and high levels of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

Photo Refractive Keratectomy (PRK) Applications in Seattle, Washington
Sound Eye and Laser practices Photo Refractive Keratoplasty and Excimer laser surgery in Seattle, Washington. We understand that each vision correction situation requires a very specific Excimer laser surgery technique. PRK has enabled us to offer some of the most individualized treatment available.

Farsightedness is treated with PRK and Excimer laser surgery technology by making the flat cornea steeper and removing tissues from the outside of the central optical zone of the cornea. This moves the point of focus from behind the retina to directly on the retina.

Nearsightedness is treated with Photo Refractive Keratectomy and Excimer laser surgery by making the steep cornea flatter and removing tissue from the center of the cornea. This moves the point of focus from in front of the retina to directly on the retina.

Astigmatism is treated with Photo Refractive Keratectomy and Excimer laser surgery procedures by making the cornea more spherical……rounder less oblong. This eliminates multiple focusing points within the eye and creates one point of focus on the retina. Astigmatism can also be treated during farsightedness and farsightedness procedures.
