PRK Pre-Op Readiness Checklist (Physical Diagnostic Template + Surgeon Training Package)

A laminated, clinic-wall-mounted decision flowchart (12×18 inches) that guides non-specialist ophthalmologists through a 5-step diagnostic sequence (topography reading, keratoconus risk scoring, prior surgery history, epithelial status, refractive stability). Paired with a 90-minute video training module (filmed with 3 real surgeons) showing how to interpret each test and when to refer. Practices buy the physical template kit (laminated flowchart + QR code linking to video) and a one-time 30-minute consultation call with one of the featured surgeons to customize it to their patient population.

TEMPLATE

21 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Costs $500–$1500 total vs. $200/case for ongoing service; one-time investment; no dependency on external reviewers; practices own the decision logic; instant clinic-side reference eliminates consultation delays; video training builds internal confidence

Target Audience

Solo and small ophthalmology practices (1–4 surgeons); rural/underserved clinics; practices in countries with limited specialist access; optometry practices offering PRK co-management

Key Features

Laminated flowchart: decision tree from topography → keratoconus risk → prior surgery → epithelial status → PRK-ready or refer
Embedded QR codes on flowchart linking to 90-minute video training (3 surgeons demonstrating each decision node)
Video includes: 10 real case examples (topography images, patient histories, final decisions with rationale)
And more, with full implementation detail...

Tech Stack

Graphic design: Adobe Illustrator or Figma for flowchart layout Print production: local or online print shop (Printful, 4OVER4, or local vendor for laminated materials) Video production: basic setup (phone camera, lapel mic, lighting kit ~$500), or hire freelance videographer ($2k–$4k for 3 surgeon interviews) Video hosting: Vimeo or Wistia (password protection, analytics)

Original Problem

Patients lack clear pre-operative guidance on whether they need preliminary corneal surgery before PRK eye surgery

Patients considering PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) surgery struggle to understand if they need prior corneal procedures, leading to confusion, delayed treatment decisions, and potential safety risks. Ophthalmologists and patients cannot easily find evidence-based criteria for determining surgical sequencing, forcing them to rely on fragmented medical literature or trial-and-error consultations. Current medical resources don't provide accessible, consolidated decision-making frameworks for this specific pre-operative assessment.
