Visual, refractive, and patient satisfaction results following bilateral photorefractive keratectomy for myopia.
Reports of the visual, refractive, and patient satisfaction results after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) are now becoming available. The visual, refractive, and patient satisfaction results of 52 patients after bilateral excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy for myopia were studied. Patient satisfaction was measured using a five-part questionnaire. Initial patients obtained an overcorrection which necessitated adjusting the programmed correction to 75% of targeted correction.
