Characteristics Influencing Outcomes of Excimer Laser Photorefractive Keratectomy
Abstract
PURPOSE: To identify preoperative and intraoperative characteristics associated with outcomes of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).
METHODS: In the phase III multicenter clinical trials of the Summit Technology excimer laser for corrections of 1.5 to 6.0 diopters (D) of myopia, three principal outcomes of PRK on 612 patients were examined: (1) uncorrected visual acuity of 20/40 or better, (2) predictability of refractive outcome within 1.0 D of …
