Ram R, et al. - In this prospective interventional case series involving 12 eyes of 8 subjects (aged 3-9 years), researchers assessed long-term corneal outcomes in pediatric patients who had photorefractive keratotomy (PRK) for the treatment of refractive amblyopia. Participants in the study were patients who had PRK and were followed for at least 5 years. The mean dose of PRK treatment was 8.46 D for the myopic cohort and 4.49 D for the hyperopic cohort, removing an average of 72 μm of corneal stromal tissue in addition to the 50 μm of corneal epithelium removed prior to laser ablation. In children treated with PRK for high refractive error 5 years or longer after surgery, there were no topographic signs of keratectasia or corneal haze.
