Abstract:Purpose
The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the effect of combined photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) on intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with keratoconus (KC).
Methods
We included 64 eyes of 34 patients (19 males and 15 females; age: 19-40y) with stages 1–2 keratoconus which had undergone combined wavefront-optimized photorefractive keratectomy and corneal collagen cross linking. Two other gr… Show more
