Corneal Sensitivity After Photorefractive Keratectomy

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1992
Corneal anesthesia or hypesthesia can complicate refractive surgical procedures such as epikeratophakia and radial keratotomy. An esthesiometer was used to measure the corneal sensitivity in unoperated-on corneas and fellow corneas after excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy. Decrease in corneal sensitivity was noted within six postoperative weeks,
