Excimer Laser In Situ Keratomileusis and Photorefractive Keratectomy for Correction of High Myopia

Abstract

LASIK, although more complicated because of the use of a microkeratome, was more effective than photorefractive keratectomy in higher myopes. LASIK created less corneal haze. The refraction was more stable with LASIK in the correction of high myopia. Its predictability was three times that of PRK.
