Best TransPRK Specialist In Mumbai

TransPRK is a refractive error correction without the need to prepare the cornea. Here, the Excimer laser removes tissue through the regenerative surface layer of the cornea.

What is Trans PRK: 

 

TransPRK (Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a no-touch laser vision correction procedure in which a specialised (Excimer) laser is used for precise corneal skin layer removal and reshaping of the superficial layers of the cornea beneath. Corneal reshaping is computer controlled, and is based on the results of optical and corneal shape mapping tests carried out at your preoperative consultation. The rapid firing laser will emit 1050 pulses of laser energy per second, and at the same rate will track any eye movements that may occur during the procedure, resulting in a very quick and accurate treatment. A bandage contact lens is placed over the eye to assist epithelial regeneration/healing, which is usually removed 2-4 days following your treatment

Benefits of TransPRK:
  • Touchless: no suction, no flap, no incision. Truly all-laser procedure
  • Safe, gentle and precise: Treatment takes place directly on the upper surface of the cornea. There are no cut or flap complications. This non-invasive method leaves a very stable cornea and thus provides high corneal stability and more safety for the patient
  • Fast: In just one step, the epithelium is removed and the refractive correction performed. This shortens the treatment time considerably; healing is faster than with manual method
  • Versatile: TransPRK is suitable for all laser candidates wishing to see clearly. It is ideal for active and athletic people, and for professions where sharp vision is needed. TransPRK is also a good treatment option for patients with thin, pathological or irregular corneas. Want to compare TransPRK with Lasik, go though our detailed comparison in prk vs lasik blog.
Risks of Trans PRK:
  • Dry eye: Like Lasik flap procedures dry eye can occur with TransPRK laser surgery but is typically less severe and for a shorter duration. The condition is a result of nerve endings being lasered. With recovery and nerve regeneration, sensation returns and the dry eye improves.
  • Corneal haze: This is a fine haze sometimes seen on the cornea at about 6 weeks and typically recedes over the following 6 weeks. With modern low energy excimer lasers and low levels of laser correction, this is not seen as often. To avoid haze some surgeons use Mitomycin C.
  • Infection: In the early postoperative period, the eye is at a slightly higher risk of infection than Lasik laser eye surgery. This is because the top protective epithelium needs to regenerate. It is important that patients maintain good hygiene and follow instructions provided by your doctor.

Testimonials

Lasik

I had a Lasik performed by Dr Shradha Goel and the consultation was done by Dr Shalomith Uppapalli for the same. Both of them are friendly and helped me throughout the process to be calm. Lasik was performed in no time and the whole process was smooth, thanks to the doctors 🙂

Due to my higher eye power, I was operated for ICL. Arohi Eye Hospital has taken all the care and has been followed us up regarding our checkup. It was a fantastic experience for me and my family. The staff is very cooperative and the environment is very positive. Most importantly, Dr Shradha Goel has helped us a lot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Trans PRK surgery?

Trans PRK is a no-touch, flap-free vision correction procedure that reshapes the cornea using an excimer laser. It removes the surface epithelium and corrects refractive errors safely without blades or suction.

How is Trans PRK different from LASIK?

Unlike LASIK, Trans PRK doesn’t involve cutting a corneal flap. It’s gentler on the eye, preserves corneal strength, and is ideal for those with thin or irregular corneas.

Who is an ideal candidate for Trans PRK eye surgery in Mumbai?

People with thin corneas, active lifestyles, or those unsuitable for LASIK are perfect candidates. A detailed eye evaluation at Arohi Eye Hospital confirms eligibility.

What are the key benefits of Trans PRK surgery?

It’s completely blade-free, painless, and flapless — ensuring quicker healing, better corneal stability, and excellent long-term vision results.

Are there any side effects or risks with Trans PRK?

Some patients may experience temporary dryness, light sensitivity, or mild haze, which usually subside within a few weeks with proper care.

How long does the Trans PRK procedure take?

The laser correction takes just a few minutes per eye. The overall procedure is quick, safe, and performed on an outpatient basis.

How soon can I recover after Trans PRK surgery?

Vision starts improving within 3–5 days, with full clarity achieved in 1–2 weeks. Most patients can resume normal work soon after healing.

Can Trans PRK correct high power or astigmatism?

Yes, Trans PRK effectively treats myopia and astigmatism up to certain degrees. Your exact suitability will be determined during consultation.

Is Trans PRK safer for thin corneas compared to LASIK?

Absolutely. Since there’s no flap creation, Trans PRK maintains corneal integrity and is safer for patients with thin or delicate corneas.
