Clinical outcomes of mechanical and transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy in low myopia with a large ablation zone
Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery Feb 22, 2019
Jun I, et al. - Authors evaluated 84 eyes to estimate the clinical outcomes, vector parameters, and differences between mechanical photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and transepithelial PRK in eyes with low myopia. They observed similar mean uncorrected-distance visual acuity at −0.13 ± 0.05 and −0.15 ± 0.05, in the mechanical and transepithelial PRK groups, respectively, at 6 months after surgery. Safety and effectiveness indices, vector parameters, and aberrometric values were also similar between mechanical and transepithelial PRK groups. They noticed a reduction in corneal total root mean square (RMS) higher-order aberrations (HOAs) and coma after treatment in both the groups. A decline in spherical aberrations after transepithelial PRK was also reported.
