Custom PRK/TSA in Calgary
TSA (Touchless Surface Ablation), also known as Transepithelial PRK (Trans PRK), is an advanced form of PRK laser eye surgery. Using Schwind’s Smart SurfACE technology, TSA removes the outer corneal layer (epithelium) with a unique laser algorithm before reshaping the cornea. This technique is faster than traditional PRK, offering quick healing and effective correction of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
PRK v/s LASIK
- LASIK involves creating and lifting a corneal flap before reshaping the cornea.
- TSA is entirely touchless, with the laser itself removing the epithelium before corneal reshaping, making it the fastest laser treatment available. However, TSA has a longer recovery time, as the epithelium needs time to regenerate.
TSA is ideal for those preferring a less invasive approach or who don’t qualify for LASIK, especially active individuals or those in contact sports.
