Irregular corneal shape
A detailed examination helps identify the cause, severity, and most appropriate next step.
Customized Corneal Reshaping
Topo-Guided PRK.
Custom laser surface treatment guided by corneal topography to reduce corneal irregularities.
Understanding the treatment
What is Topo-Guided PRK?
Topo-Guided PRK uses diagnostic maps to direct the laser to treat specific irregular shapes of the cornea. In keratoconus, it is often combined with Collagen Crosslinking (CXL) to stabilize the eye.
Your treatment plan is selected only after a detailed eye examination and discussion of suitability, alternatives, expected benefits, and limitations.
Individualized care: recommendations depend on your diagnosis, eye health, visual needs, lifestyle, and examination findings.

Suitability, alternatives, likely benefits, limitations, and costs are discussed.
Treatment
The selected medical, optical, laser, or surgical plan is performed with appropriate precautions.
Follow-up
Scheduled reviews monitor healing, comfort, vision, and the need for further care.
After treatment
Follow-up supports a safer recovery.
Recovery and aftercare differ by treatment. Follow the instructions provided for your individual procedure or care plan.
✓ Follow the prescribed eye-drop or medicine schedule carefully.
✓ Protect the eye and avoid rubbing, contamination, or unapproved activity.
✓ Attend scheduled examinations so healing and treatment response can be checked.
✓ Contact the clinic promptly for increasing pain, redness, or a sudden change in vision.
Contact the clinic urgently if advised warning signs occur.
Increasing pain, marked redness, sudden loss of vision, injury, or rapidly worsening symptoms should not be ignored.
