What are some of the brand names used for PRK surgery?
In the UK, many clinics use other names to attempt to differentiate what is effectively the same procedure. These brand names include: UltraLASEK, UltraLASEKplus, EPI-LASEK, etc. Usually, these names represent the same treatment, guided by a wavefront aberrometer, and clinics usually provide these treatments at a higher cost than conventional LASEK or PRK. In contrast, London Vision Clinic provides all of its patients PRK or LASEK guided by a wavefront aberrometer if they need it – without additional cost. In the interest of clarity, we just call it what it is, PRK or LASEK.
