A 6-Month Follow-Up Comparative Study of Single-Step Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy

A 6-Month Follow-Up Comparative Study of Single-Step Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy

Purpose: To compare corneal aberrometry, densitometry, and refractive outcomes of single-step Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy (Trans-PRK) with and without epithelial thickness customization. Patients and Methods: This was a prospective, interventional, randomized controlled study. Patien...

Zusammenfassung:Purpose: To compare corneal aberrometry, densitometry, and refractive outcomes of single-step Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy (Trans-PRK) with and without epithelial thickness customization. Patients and Methods: This was a prospective, interventional, randomized controlled study. Patients undergoing Trans-PRK using the WaveLight EX500 laser with StreamLight software (Alcon Laboratories, Forth Worth, TX, USA) were randomly assigned to control (55 [micro]m standard epithelial thickness) or customized (thinnest point of epithelial thickness for each patient) groups. MS-39 (CSO, Italy) anterior segment optical coherence tomography was used to measure the epithelial thickness. Inclusion criteria were spherical equivalent
