Short term results with excimer laser-photo-refractive keratectomy.
The results at three months after photo-refractive keratectomy surgery (PRK) with the Meditec Mel 60 laser are discussed. A total of 86 eyes (18 hyperopes and 68 myopes) were followed. The predictability of +/- 1D in the myopia group of less than 6D was 86% and it was 68% in the myopia group of more than 6D. The predictability of +/- 2D was 96% in the group below 6D, and in the group of more than 6D it was 85%. In hyperopia, the mean refractive change was 2.7D and 44% of eyes were between +/- 1D at three months after Excimer laser surgery.
