The main difference between Lasik and PRK is the fact that a flap (thin corneal layer) is created during Lasik but no flap is created with PRK. This typically means that PRK can be carried out on people with thinner corneas. The actual lasering itself is the same for both procedures, it is just the way the cornea is accessed that is different. PRK is very similar to Lasek eye surgery. Read our Lasik guide for further information.
