Other Xtra Procedures

PRK Xtra and SMILE Xtra are not unlike the LASIK Xtra procedure.

Similarly, for PRK Xtra and SMILE Xtra, cross-linking is performed during the refractive procedure to strengthen the cornea of the eye. PRK Xtra and SMILE Xtra involve the following steps:

R

PRK or SMILE eye surgery performed as usual

R

VibeX Xtra eye drops are applied to the cornea

R

The cornea is then illuminated with ultra-violet A (UVA) light

Benefits of Xtra

If you are a candidate for LASIK, SMILE, or PRK you are likely a candidate for Lasik Xtra, SMILE Xtra, or PRK Xtra too. Talk to your surgeon to see if the benefits are right for you.
