Why this isn't your final quote

We can't give you a 100% exact number until your surgeon sees your case in your medical video consultation. Your final quote may move from this estimate based on additional studies your surgeon may need, your specific anatomy, or projected recovery time. Most patients land within 15% of what you're seeing here — we'd rather tell you that upfront than surprise you later.

Frequently asked questions about this procedure

PRK vs LASIK?

PRK has no flap, making it safer for thin corneas and contact sports, recovery is a few days longer.

Is it painful?

Mild discomfort for 2–3 days managed with drops; vision sharpens over the first week.

Do I need a recovery house?

No, a hotel stay is enough.
