[Results after laser epithelial keratectomileusis for myopia].
OBJECTIVE
To study the results of laser epithelial keratectomileusis (LASEK) for myopia.


METHODS
LASEK was performed with the Nidek EC-5000 excimer laser. 39 patients (78 eyes) with a refraction of -1.50 to -12.00 diopters were treated and followed for 3-12 months. Postoperrative pain, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), refraction, corneal haze, and surgical preference were examined.


RESULTS
During 3-12 months follow-up, 96.2% UCVA were above 0.5, 92.3% eyes were at least 1.0 in UCVA. The last refraction were whthin +1.00 D and -1.00 D in 18 eyes except 4 eyes. The II grade haze was found in four eye.


CONCLUSIONS
LASEK was one of methods to treat eyes with myopia safely and effectively, but also studied in operation, experiment, and further effect.
