Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess how effective and safe topical 1% medroxyprogesterone is for healing the corneal epithelium after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).
  • It involved 66 eyes from 33 patients, where one eye received the medication and the other got a placebo, with follow-ups for 5 days post-surgery to measure healing time.
  • Results showed no significant differences in healing between the two groups, indicating that 1% medroxyprogesterone does not meaningfully enhance corneal epithelial healing after PRK.
