Ciarra is a valuable team member at Chu Vision Institute, supervising the front desk team and managing the flow of the surgery center. Finally, after 4 years on the team, she decided it was time to explore vision correction for herself! Sitting in meetings, she couldn’t see the presentation screen. In her free time, she enjoys attending music festivals, but before PRK, she couldn’t see the stage clearly.
After deciding to do something for herself, she spoke with our team of experts and learned PRK was the best option for her unique eyes. Now, her vision is 20/20, and she can enjoy her music festivals this summer!
Watch Ciarra’s story below:
PRK is a tried and true laser vision correction procedure. It’s even older than LASIK! PRK stands for Photorefractive keratectomy. During this procedure, the top layer of cornea cells is gently removed. A LASER then reshapes the cornea to correct the prescription. A clear bandage contact lens is placed over the eye while the surface heals for several days. Once the surface heals and the bandage is removed vision is corrected to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses and contacts! PRK is one of several procedures we offer here at Chu Vision Institute. Dr. Ralph Chu and our doctors at Chu Vision Institute in Bloomington, MN are experts in laser vision correction options for patients in the Twin Cities and beyond.
