Longitudinal comparison of femtosecond-assisted sub-Bowman keratomileusis versus photorefractive keratectomy for high myopia

Abstract

Our study showed that femtosecond-assisted SBK and PRK with mitomycin C have comparable safety and efficacy for correction of high myopia. However, better predictability of postoperative refraction was noted after PRK compared with SBK.

Single-step transepithelial versus alcohol-assisted photorefractive keratectomy in the treatment of high myopia: a comparative evaluation over 12 months

“…Our results with both EtOH-PRK and TransPRK are similar to recent results published literature with EtOH-PRK in high myopia 13 14. Interestingly, Shapira et al have noted slight undercorrection with TransPRK as compared EtOH-PRK and mechanical PRK on the Allegretto Wave Excimer Laser platform.…”
