Corneal stromal wound healing in refractive surgery: the role of myofibroblasts.
TL;DR: A better understanding of the cellular and molecular biology of this one cell is required if refractive surgery is ever to achieve predictable and safe refractive results.

Ocular aberrations before and after myopic corneal refractive surgery: LASIK-induced changes measured with laser ray tracing.
Esther Moreno-Barriuso,Jesús Merayo Lloves,Susana Marcos,Rafael Navarro,Lourdes Llorente,Sergio Barbero +5 more
TL;DR: Laser ray tracing is a well-suited, robust, and reliable technique for the evaluation of the change of ocular aberrations with refractive surgery and its impact on image quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Excimer laser in situ keratomileusis and photorefractive keratectomy for correction of high myopia.
TL;DR: LASIK, although more complicated because of the use of a microkeratome, was more effective than photorefractive keratectomy in higher myopes, and LASIK created less corneal haze.

Matrix Metalloproteinase Gelatinase B (MMP-9) Coordinates and Effects Epithelial Regeneration
Royce Mohan,Shravan K. Chintala,Jae Chang Jung,Winston V.L. Villar,Frank McCabe,Laoti A. Russo,Yunhee Lee,Brendan E. McCarthy,Kurt R. Wollenberg,James V. Jester,Min Wang,Howard G. Welgus,J. Michael Shipley,Robert M. Senior,M. Elizabeth Fini +14 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that gelB coordinates and effects multiple events involved in the process of epithelial regeneration, including control of cell replication, which is a novel capacity for MMPs not previously described.

Photorefractive keratectomy versus laser in situ keratomileusis for moderate to high myopia: A randomized prospective study
Peter S. Hersh,Stephen F. Brint,Robert K. Maloney,Daniel S. Durrie,Michael Gordon,Marc Michelson,Vance Thompson,Ralph B Berkeley,Oliver D. Schein,Roger F. Steinert +9 more
TL;DR: There is a greater tendency toward undercorrection in LASIK eyes using the specific laser and nomogram in this study, but the scatter in achieved versus attempted correction is similar, suggesting little difference in the accuracy of the two procedures.

Photorefractive keratectomy: A technique for laser refractive surgery
TL;DR: Conditions for one such procedure, photorefractive keratectomy, the direct reshaping of the cornea's central optical zone using tissue ablation with far ultraviolet radiation is described and a method of achieving better beam uniformity using beam integration by rotation is demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this article, laser myopic keratomileusis (photorefractive keratectomy) was performed on 29 rhesus monkey corneas with an argon fluoride (193-nm) excimer laser and a computer-controlled, moving slit delivery system.

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.

TL;DR: The Prospective Evaluation of Radial Keratotomy (PERK) study is a nine-center, self-controlled clinical trial of a standardized technique of radial keratotomy in 435 patients who had physiologic myopia with a preoperative refraction between -2.00 and -8.00 diopters.

TL;DR: The pulsed ultraviolet excimer laser has been used to produce tissue ablation with a high degree of precision and with minimal thermal damage to adjacent structures, and threshold fluence for corneal and lens ablation was higher at 248 nm than at 193 nm.
