Your path to clear vision

How does Trans-PRK work?

Trans-PRK corrects your vision without contact and without cutting. The outermost layer of the cornea is removed using a laser and regenerates within a few days.

Asset
  • Step 1

    Pre-examination

    A comprehensive eye examination determines all relevant parameters to tailor the treatment to your needs.

  • Step 2

    Préparation

    On the day of treatment, your eyes are numbed with special drops. The procedure is painless, and you remain awake and relaxed.

  • Step 3

    Treatment

    A precise excimer laser removes the epithelium (outer corneal layer) and corrects the refractive error. The procedure takes only a few minutes per eye.

  • Step 4

    Healing

    A therapeutic contact lens is applied as protection until the epithelium regenerates (approx. 3–5 days). Vision stabilizes gradually.

  • Benefits of Trans-PRK

    Trans-PRK is the ideal solution if your cornea is too thin for other laser eye procedures. Discover the advantages of this proven, touch-free method.

  • 100% touch-free

    Trans-PRK completely eliminates the need for mechanical instruments. The entire correction is performed without contact using advanced laser technology.

  • Ideal for thin corneas

    Trans-PRK is an excellent option for patients who are not suitable for Femto-LASIK due to corneal characteristics.

  • No flap, no incision

    Unlike Femto-LASIK, Trans-PRK requires no incision. Since no flap is created, all associated risks are eliminated.

  • Safe & precise

    Trans-PRK safely and individually corrects myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism using highly precise laser technology.

My experience was very good. The doctors and staff are very competent and friendly. I had my ICL procedure here yesterday, and today I can already see very well. The first day after the procedure was a bit challenging, as my eyes still had to get used to it.

The doctor as well as the entire team are very friendly and answer questions in a professional and competent way.

About a month ago, I decided to undergo RLA, and I am very satisfied. From the very first examination, I felt that I was advised in a very competent and pleasant manner. The procedure also went exactly as planned, and I felt well taken care of throughout. I am very happy with the result as well. Many thanks to the entire team.

I had my eyes operated on by Dr. Toam Katz and couldn’t be happier with the result. From the very first consultation, he inspired great confidence and explained every detail of the procedure clearly and patiently. The surgery was quick and painless, and the follow-up care was excellent. Today, I enjoy perfect vision thanks to his professionalism and dedication. I can definitely recommend it.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions

  • Which vision problems can be corrected with Trans-PRK?

    With No-Touch Trans-PRK, we can correct a wide range of refractive errors:

    • Myopia: up to -8 diopters

    • Hyperopia: up to +3 diopters

    • Astigmatism: up to 5 diopters

    Your individual suitability will be determined during a personal pre-examination at a EuroEyes location near you.

  • Is Trans-PRK treatment painful?

    During the laser procedure itself, you will not feel any pain thanks to numbing eye drops. However, since the outermost layer of the cornea is removed, some discomfort or pain may occur in the first few days after treatment. Our team will support you throughout the healing process and ensure optimal aftercare.

  • How long is the healing process after Trans-PRK?

    The outermost corneal layer (epithelium) regenerates under a protective contact lens within approximately 3 to 5 days. Please note that it may take about two to three months to achieve the final, sharp visual result.

  • What are alternatives to Trans-PRK?

    The most suitable procedure depends on your individual corneal structure and refractive error. If Trans-PRK is not the optimal choice, we offer proven alternatives such as Femto-LASIK, SMILE Pro, and lens implantation. For presbyopia, PRESBYOND or trifocal lenses may be suitable options.

  • How much does Trans-PRK cost?

    At EuroEyes, Trans-PRK costs CHF 1,790 per eye. This is an all-inclusive price covering the entire treatment, from pre-examination to aftercare. Monthly payment plans are available upon request.
