Visual performance after excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy for high myopia

Abstract

Excimer laser PRK is an effective and predictive treatment for high myopia greater than -8D with or without astigmatism up to -4D. The incidence of complication is low. All patients who are candidates for laser <i>in situ</i> keratomileusis can be candidates for surface ablation, especially those with preoperative thinner cornea or higher risk of corneal flap complications.
