PRK PRK or Photo-refractive Keratectomy treats refractive errors by removing tissue from the surface of the cornea. Then, the surgeon removes the epithelium, a thin layer of protective skin that covers the cornea. The patient is told to look directly at a target light during the procedure. In less than a minute or two, the laser removes the proper amount of tissue while it reshapes the surface of the cornea. After PRK, the eye is patched until the following morning.
