Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) was the first excimer laser procedure developed to treat refractive errors. The safety and efficacy of PRK established it as one of the most performed corneal refractive procedures worldwide. With the introduction of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), and more recently keratorefractive lenticule extraction (KLEx) procedures, many corneal surgeons favor these newer corneal procedures as the first choice due to faster visual rehabilitation and less discomfort during the early postoperative period. Importantly, however, PRK remains a viable alternative for most corneal refractive candidates and there are many situations in which PRK remains the refractive procedure of choice. This review addresses the technical evolution of PRK—mechanical epithelial debridement versus alcohol-assisted epithelial removal versus excimer laser-assisted epithelial debridement (transepithelial) PRK—and reports the PRK refractive outcomes compared to other keratorefractive laser procedures. The corneal wound response associated with each PRK technique and the indications, limitations, and complications of PRK are reviewed to aid refractive surgeons to best position PRK in their overall practice.
