Eye Laser procedures at Dr. Murkute’s clinic encompass a range of treatments, with two of the most prominent being LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) and PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy).

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis):
LASIK is a popular refractive eye surgery used to correct common vision problems such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. The procedure involves using a microkeratome or a femtosecond laser to create a thin flap on the cornea. This flap is then gently lifted, exposing the underlying corneal tissue, and an excimer laser is utilized to reshape the cornea. The laser ablation is precisely customized based on the patient’s unique eye measurements, correcting the refractive errors. Once the cornea is reshaped, the protective flap is repositioned, acting as a natural bandage during the healing process.
LASIK at Dr. Murkute’s clinic is performed with the latest technology and equipment, ensuring the highest level of safety and accuracy. The procedure is typically quick and virtually painless, and most patients experience a significant improvement in their vision immediately after the surgery. Recovery time is relatively short, and patients can often resume their normal activities within a few days.

PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy):
PRK is another effective refractive eye surgery offered at the clinic. It is an ideal option for patients with thinner corneas or those who may not be suitable candidates for LASIK. In PRK, the surgeon removes the outer layer of the cornea, called the epithelium, before using the excimer laser to reshape the corneal tissue, thus correcting the refractive errors. Since the corneal flap is not created in PRK as it is in LASIK, the healing process may take slightly longer, and discomfort might be experienced during the initial recovery phase. However, PRK has its advantages, particularly for individuals with specific eye conditions.
