PRK in Atlanta
A Clearer Vision Starts Here, Even If LASIK Isn't Right for You.
At Atlanta Vision Institute, our mission is simple: help you see life more clearly. Led by renowned ophthalmologist Dr. M. Farooq Ashraf, our team has performed over 50,000 successful eye surgeries, helping thousands of patients across Atlanta, Dunwoody, and Johns Creek experience life without glasses or contacts.
If you’ve been told you’re not a candidate for LASIK, PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) may be the perfect alternative to achieve the same life-changing results.
Clarity.
Focus.
Confidence.
Freedom.
Why LASIK?
Imagine Life Without Glasses
Laser vision correction is designed to treat the following:
Nearsightedness (myopia): difficulty seeing distant objects clearly
Farsightedness (hyperopia): difficulty seeing up close
Astigmatism: blurred or distorted vision at all distances
Unlike LASIK, PRK doesn’t require creating a corneal flap - instead, it gently removes the outermost layer of the cornea (the epithelium), allowing the laser to reshape the surface directly. The result? Clear, crisp vision that continues improving as your eyes heal.
Vision Correction Options:
LASIK
Quick, precise, and effective for most patients.
SMILE LASIK
Minimally invasive and ideal for active lifestyle patients (and those prone to dry eyes).
EVO ICL
An advanced solution for patients not suited for LASIK.
PRK
A safe alternative for patients with thin corneas.
