Is prk surgery detected easily?

Question

Jay Bansal, MD · Answer

It is easy to identify if a patient has had PRK if a topography scan is taken of the eye.  However, it is not easily identified just by looking at the eye with a slit lamp microscope.

Andrew Caster, MD · Answer

PRK surgery can be detected by use of topography machines which are common in eye doctor's offices. It cannot be detected by looking at the eyes, even with a microscope.
