Mar 26, 2025

Imagine a laser vision correction procedure that minimises contact with your eye, offering a comfortable and efficient path to clearer vision.

At Pristine Eye Hospitals in Hyderabad, we are proud to offer Trans-Epithelial PRK, also known as StreamLight PRK (WaveLight EX500), a cutting-edge, no-touch laser vision correction procedure.

What is Trans-Epithelial PRK (StreamLight PRK)?

Trans-epithelial PRK, or StreamLight PRK, is an advanced form of PRK that utilizes a single laser step to remove the corneal epithelium and reshape the underlying cornea. This "no-touch" technique eliminates the need for manual removal of the epithelium using a spatula or brush, resulting in a more comfortable and precise procedure.
