Abstract
Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is the first generation of laser vision correction, which marked the beginning of the era of laser keratorefractive surgery. The technology can improve vision in case of myopia, hypermetropia, and astigmatism.
The article analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the PRK method, its risks and side effects.
The data obtained as a result of the analysis of scientific publications and by practical means are presented.
