Journal ArticleDOI
Excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy. 18-month follow-up
TL;DR: In this paper, the efficacy and safety of excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy was evaluated in 120 patients with follow-up, 12 to 22 months, and mean, 18 months.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photorefractive keratectomy with an argon fluoride excimer laser: a clinical study.
TL;DR: To date PRK appears to be a safe procedure that holds considerable promise for refractive surgery in the future, and considerable individual variation in response to this surgery, which is more marked in high myopia.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of topical corticosteroids on refractive outcome and corneal haze after photorefractive keratectomy. A prospective, randomized, double-blind trial.
TL;DR: It is concluded that long-term use of corticosteroids to maintain the initial beneficial effect on refraction would be unacceptable, and these agents should not be used after photorefractive keratectomy.
'Haze' in photorefractive keratectomy : Its origins and consequences
TL;DR: A marginal loss of corneal transparency or 'haze' is a phenomenon experienced after photorefractive keratectomy using excimer lasers and this second wave of visual disturbance may correlate with cellular responses subsequent to cessation of steroid therapy at three months.
Journal ArticleDOI
Excimer laser treatment of corneal surface pathology: a laboratory and clinical study.
TL;DR: Multiple zone excimer laser superficial keratectomy is considered the treatment of choice for rough, painful corneal surfaces and ablation of a single axial zone is recommended and results in improved visual acuity and reduction of glare.
