PRK (Surface Laser)
Suitable in selected cases. Cornea surface reshaping helps reduce spectacle power when corneal parameters allow.
Shri Ganesh Vinayak Eye Hospital (SGVEH) provides advanced refractive surgery planning in Raipur to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses. We offer evaluation and suitable options including PRK and implantable lens procedures like ICL / IPCL. Patients visit us from across Chhattisgarh and Central India, including Korba, Champa, Jagdalpur, Dhamtari and nearby Odisha.
Refractive surgery is designed to reduce dependence on spectacles by correcting power (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism) using laser surface procedures like PRK or implantable lenses like ICL/IPCL for suitable candidates. A detailed checkup is essential to choose the safest option for your eyes.
Not everyone is a candidate. Cornea thickness, power stability, dry eye, and retina health matter—so proper screening is key.
SGVEH focuses on safe eligibility evaluation, realistic outcome counselling, and structured follow-up for stable, comfortable vision.

Suitable in selected cases. Cornea surface reshaping helps reduce spectacle power when corneal parameters allow.
A lens is placed inside the eye to correct higher powers in suitable candidates, especially when laser options are not ideal.
Detailed measurements guide customized correction for cylindrical power (astigmatism) when appropriate.
Night driving, screen work, sports and dryness—planning is tailored for comfort and realistic expectations.
Power should generally be stable before considering surgery. We confirm stability during evaluation.
High myopia may be better suited for ICL/IPCL in eligible cases, after retina and eye health checks.
If lenses cause dryness, irritation, or allergies, an evaluation can help explore options.
People who want freedom from glasses for daily activities often explore refractive surgery options.
We measure your glasses power, check stability, and assess best-corrected vision.
Corneal thickness and topography help decide laser safety and detect keratoconus risk.
Dry eye can affect comfort and outcomes—treated and optimized before proceeding.
We check lens status and overall eye health. For high powers, retinal evaluation may be advised.
We suggest the safest option (PRK vs ICL/IPCL) with expected outcomes, precautions and follow-up plan.
It depends on cornea thickness, power, eye health and lifestyle. PRK is a laser surface procedure; ICL/IPCL is an implantable lens option. The best choice is decided after a full evaluation.
With proper screening and correct case selection, outcomes are generally good. Safety depends on corneal parameters, dryness control, and overall eye health.
Many people reduce dependence on glasses significantly, but results vary by power, healing response and future age-related changes. Counselling helps set realistic expectations.
Recovery depends on the procedure. Many patients resume routine activities soon, but vision stabilization can take days to weeks depending on the option selected.
