Stray light in photorefractive keratectomy for myopia.
We are performing a prospective study, with the "Straylight meter", to evaluate the effects of PRK, on intraocular straylight. Results show a significant increase in straylight values, during the first two weeks after treatment. There is no correlation between the amount of haze, and intraocular light scatter.
