Topographical Trans-PRK

Trans-PRK laser eye surgery can be used to treat the “topography” or abnormal curvature of the cornea in keratoconus.

Only eye surgeons that are formally trained in laser eye surgery can perform this procedure correctly and safely. “Corneal surgeons” at other unsophisticated WA laser eye centres do not have the training or technical know-how in treating patients with this complex type of laser eye surgery.

After 6 months following corneal cross linking has been performed, a topographical Trans-PRK is performed using the latest corneal topography diagnostics to smoothen out a cone in keratoconus or regularising the cornea.

Every single treatment plan is highly complex and personalised. The planning is extremely sophisticated using our laser software.

How does a Topographical Trans-PRK work?

Advantages of a Topographical Trans-PRK

• The Mel 90 laser is used to painlessly remove the cornea’s surface layer cells
• The irregular surface is treated by the laser creating a more regularly rounded cornea
• The laser is painless and invisible
• Medicated steroid and anti-biotic drops are applied
• A protective medicated contact lens is placed on the eye to facilitate healing
• The vision can be significantly improved with glasses following the laser

• The patient’s cornea becomes regular and the keratoconus itself is treated
• The whole procedure is painless
• The laser is completely invisible
• In some cases the uncorrected vision can improve to 6/6
• The patient retains their own cornea
• The patient ‘s corrected vision improves with glasses in all cases
• Patients regain better depth perception
• Patients eyes are saved from having to undergo a corneal transplant

Example of a corneal scar with blood vessel infiltrate caused by a Herpes infection was treated with a Topographical Trans-PRK laser eye surgery

My Mission Statement:

Over the past 20 years I have had the absolute pleasure of helping tens of thousands of patients of various ages improve and maintain their vision. Helping patients to free themselves from the burden of glasses and contact lenses is my passion.

To perform microsurgery on the eyes requires exceptional surgical skill and acumen. To perform all types of eye surgery and any other ocular surgery at a world class level requires expertise along with access to state of the art and the world’s best equipment.

That is why I offer the most thorough and intense medical examination and consultation that any patient will ever go through. During your consultation we will meet, and I can take the time to answer all your questions and talk through any concerns you have.
