Changes in Central Corneal Thickness After Laser in situ Keratomileusis and Photorefractive Keratectomy

Abstract

Increase in central corneal thickness between 1 week and 6 months postoperatively occurred in both LASIK and PRK eyes, but differences were not statistically significant. No statistically significant differences were found in myopic regression between the two patient groups.
