TransPRK gives cornea more energy load than conventional surface ablations.
Extend your conventional surface ablation MMC, NSAID and dexamethasone treatment times.
Educate patients to relax and look into laser during extended ablation times.
Adjustment of clinical protocol

Marketing of Trans PRK
• You can change name of TransPRK for more customer friendly and attractive trade name which is suitable for your market and practice.
• New generation non touch laser procedure for new generation people.
• Premium product positioned and priced higher as Femto LASIK.
• Position it as treatment for intelligent, educated and open minded people.
• Young active people really prefer gradual visual recovery to avoid having life time cut in the cornea.
• Due plasticity of young tissues and accommodation abilities patients have high satisfaction rate, relatively quick visual recovery and real life is usually better than numbers in “Datagraph”.

Conclusion
• Highly patient driven No Touch No Cut laser procedure for treating myopia which rises practice’s revenue and profitability.
• Lower overhead gives practice more resources for investments andmarketing budget.
• Surface ablations need more time for educating patients and pro active communication from laser center personnel.
• TransPRK success = patient education, exact pre-op refraction and exams, precise laser technology, pro active communication, customized nomogram and adjusted clinical-medication protocol.
