TransPRK Laser Eye Surgery in London

trans prk surgery

From £1,100 per eye · complimentary assessment

TransPRK surgery is an excellent option for patients seeking laser vision correction without creating a corneal flap. It reshapes the cornea to provide long-term visual clarity while preserving more of the eye’s natural structure.

What is TransPRK (no-touch laser eye surgery)?

TransPRK is a next-generation surface laser eye surgery. Unlike LASIK, there’s no corneal flap—instead, the laser gently removes the corneal surface (epithelium) and reshapes the underlying tissue in one seamless step.

This makes it particularly suited for patients with thinner corneas, contact sports enthusiasts, or those who prefer a non-invasive approach.

Does this sound like you?

You may be a strong candidate for TransPRK if you:

Have thin or irregular corneas

Are involved in high-impact sports or physically active work

Experience dry eye symptoms or discomfort with contact lenses

Have been told you’re not suitable for LASIK

Want a flapless alternative with minimal structural disruption

Are you eligible?

TransPRK is ideal for patients who need a surface-based treatment without corneal cutting.

Ineligible for laser? Consider ICL surgery

Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICLs) are an advanced alternative for patients who aren’t suitable for laser procedures due to high prescriptions or thin corneas. ICLs are soft, biocompatible lenses placed between the iris and your natural lens, correcting vision without reshaping the cornea. This minimally invasive, reversible treatment offers crisp, high-definition vision and is especially effective for high myopia—even up to -20 diopters. With fast recovery and long-term comfort, ICL surgery is a powerful option for those seeking safe, lasting results.
