TLDR
Spectacles, hard contact lenses, and excimer laser surgery are all superior to soft contact lenses in terms of light scatter and low-contrast visual acuity and excencer laser photorefractive keratectomy produces comparable results to spectacles one year postoperatively.About:

TL;DR: A new definition of dry eye was developed to reflect current understanding of the disease, and a three-part classification system was recommended, based on the severity of the dry eye disease, which is expected to provide a rational basis for therapy.

Functional vision and corneal changes after laser in situ keratomileusis determined by contrast sensitivity, glare testing, and corneal topography.
TL;DR: Findings indicate that the oblate shape of the cornea following LASIK is the predominant factor in the functional vision decrease and changes in functional vision worsen as the target contrast diminishes and the pupil size increases.

Optical and visual impact of tear break-up in human eyes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the optical and visual impact of tear break-up on the fundus image and measured the psychophysical contrast sensitivity and the spatial distribution of tear thickness changes by retroillumination.

Excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy.
Theo Seiler,Peter J. McDonnell +1 more
TL;DR: The nature of the excimer laser-tissue interaction, and clinical outcomes of predictability, stability and complications of surgery for myopia are discussed in detail.
Journal ArticleDOI
The development of an instrument to measure quality of vision: the Quality of Vision (QoV) questionnaire.
TL;DR: TheQoV Questionnaire consists of a Rasch-tested, linear-scaled, 30-item instrument on three scales providing a QoV score in terms of symptom frequency, severity, and bothersome, suitable for measuring QoVs in patients with all types of refractive correction, eye surgery, and eye disease that cause Qov problems.

Myopic photorefractive keratectomy with the excimer laser. One-year follow-up.
Theo Seiler,J. Wollensak +1 more
TL;DR: A 1-year follow-up study on a consecutive series of 26 sighted eyes undergoing PRK found that visual acuity with glare decreased from 20/27 preoperatively to 20/31 after 1 year, and risk factors for scarring include noncompliance with postoperative steroid medication, high myopic corrections, and high steroid responders.

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.

The Fundamentals of Glare and Visibility
TL;DR: In this article, a resume is presented of the results obtained in an extensive research into the many ways in which glare affects visibility, mainly by the method of least perceptible contrasts of brightnesses.

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.
