PRK is an older procedure that is usually the optimum choice for patients with a thinner cornea. PRK involves no incisions, and uses a laser to remove a small layer of cells on the surface off the epithelium (the outermost layer of cells of the cornea), which is then allowed to grow back naturally on it's own after surgery, which usually takes about four or five days or so.
One advantage to PRK is that, unlike most of the new procedures, no incision is made in the epithelium with either blade or laser, which, even though all laser eye surgeries are basically considered safe, is the part of laser eye surgery that is considered to carry the most risk.
However, PRK does usually involve a much longer recovery period than Lasik.
