In the evolving field of ophthalmology, Blue Fin Vision Eye Clinic stands at the forefront of innovation with the introduction of No-Touch TransPRK Laser treatment. Situated in the heart of Harley Street, London, our clinic is dedicated to enhancing eye health through precision and personalised care.
Understanding No-Touch TransPRK
What is TransPRK?
TransPRK (Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy) represents a cutting-edge approach to laser eye surgery designed to correct several common refractive errors, including myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. No-touch and touch-free, this procedure utilises advanced excimer laser technology to deliver unparalleled precision without the need for physical contact or mechanical tools.
How Does TransPRK Differ from Other Procedures?
While conventional methods like LASIK and LASEK involve creating a flap or using chemical solutions, TransPRK is distinct in its approach:
- No Flap, No Cut: With TransPRK, there’s no creation of a corneal flap, distinctly minimising the risk of complications.
- Seamless Process: The laser performs both the removal and reshaping tasks in a single fluid motion, promoting a more efficient and safer procedure.
Technology Behind the TransPRK Laser
SCHWIND TransPRK: The No-Touch Laser Eye Treatment
Overview
SCHWIND TransPRK (transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy) is a cutting-edge, touch-free laser eye correction method integrated with the SCHWIND AMARIS laser systems. Unlike conventional methods such as LASEK, Epi-LASIK, and PRK, the TransPRK procedure does not involve any physical contact with the eye. Instead, the SCHWIND AMARIS laser ablates the epithelium without the need for suction, a flap, a blade, or even alcohol. This innovative procedure is non-invasive, safe, and gentle on the eye.
Benefits
- Touchless: The procedure involves no suction, flap, or incision.
- Safe: Ensures high corneal stability.
- Fast: Treatment is completed in a single step.
- Efficient Healing: Rapid regeneration of the epithelium.
- Proven Results: Delivers very good clinical outcomes.
- Economical: Easy to use, time-saving, and requires low investment.
Why Choose TransPRK?
Safe, Gentle, and Precise
TransPRK treats the cornea directly on its upper surface, eliminating the risks of cuts or flap complications. This non-invasive method maintains the corneal integrity, providing enhanced safety for the patient. The SCHWIND AMARIS laser precisely ablates the epithelium, offering a more uniform and controlled treatment compared to manual or alcohol-assisted methods.
Fast
The entire process, including the removal of the epithelium and the refractive correction, occurs in one quick step. This reduces treatment time significantly and minimises the risk of corneal dehydration. Additionally, due to the smaller wound area, the healing process is faster than conventional manual methods.
Versatile
TransPRK is suitable for anyone looking to achieve clear eyesight. It is especially ideal for active and athletic individuals and those in professions requiring sharp vision. It is also an excellent option for patients with thin, pathological, or irregular corneas.
Economical
The TransPRK procedure is straightforward and timesaving. Moreover, it does not require a femtosecond laser, making it a cost-effective solution for both patients and practitioners.
Additional Features
Myopic and Hyperopic TransPRK Profiles
The procedure can be tailored to treat both myopia and hyperopia, ensuring a broad application spectrum suitable for diverse patient needs.
Benefits of No-Touch TransPRK Surgery
Key Features and Advantages
- Safety and Efficiency: With no-touch technology, the potential for infection and inflammation is significantly reduced.
- Precision Engineering: The advanced laser technology precisely targets the area, ensuring optimal reshaping.
- Expanded Suitability: Patients previously ineligible for other surgeries due to corneal thinness often find TransPRK to be a viable solution.
- Stability and Reliability: By avoiding flap complications, the long-term stability of your vision is supported.
Recovery Process
While the No-Touch TransPRK recovery may take slightly longer than LASIK, here’s what to expect:
- Early Sensations: It is essential to acknowledge that the initial phase can be painful. To support you through this period, we provide anaesthetic drops to alleviate the discomfort during the first two days. Additionally, your vision may be blurred initially, which is a normal part of the healing process.
- Steady Progress: You will notice significant improvements within a week. Full visual clarity develops progressively over a week or two, as your eyes continue to heal and adapt. Rest assured, our team is dedicated to monitoring your progress and making necessary adjustments to enhance your recovery.
- Guided Care: Our comprehensive aftercare plan ensures you have all the necessary instructions for a smooth recovery journey. We tailor our guidance to your unique needs, emphasising personalised care and attention to detail to ensure the best possible outcome.
