PRK Surgery in Tijuana: step by step, and who it's best for
When someone asks me if LASIK is "the best" refractive surgery, my answer is always the same: it depends on your cornea. PRK was the precursor of laser refractive surgery and, for many patients —especially those with thinner corneas— it remains the safest option, with long-term results comparable to LASIK.
Why this matters to me: before recommending any technique, I perform a complete corneal evaluation to confirm which option is safest for you —not just the fastest one to offer. If your cornea is a candidate for PRK and not LASIK, I'd rather tell you clearly from the first consultation.
Here's the PRK process, step by step
PRK's visual recovery is a bit more gradual than LASIK's —some discomfort and light sensitivity in the first days is normal— but long-term results are just as predictable. If your evaluation shows PRK is your best option, I'd be glad to walk with you through every step of the process.
