Laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy (LASEK) versus photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for correction of myopia [PDF]

The Cochrane Library, 2016
Myopia (near-sightedness or short-sightedness) is a condition in which the refractive power of the eye is greater than required. The most frequent complaint of people with myopia is blurred distance vision, which can be eliminated by conventional optical aids such as spectacles or contact lenses, or by refractive surgery procedures such as ...

Post photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) infectious keratitis; six-year experience of a tertiary eye hospital. [PDF]

Eye (Lond), 2023
As an essential development in the new century, surface ablation procedures have attracted increasing attention. There exists a concern regarding the risk of infectious keratitis. Hence, we aimed to investigate the rate and predisposing factors of infectious keratitis after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).This retrospective study was designed in two ...
