Wavefront-guided PRK treatment of myopia using a refractive aberrometer.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and patient-reported outcomes of wavefront-guided photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for the correction of myopic refractive errors with and without astigmatism.

Setting: U.S.

Quality of Vision Following LASIK and PRK-MMC for Treatment of Myopia.

Introduction: Femtosecond-assisted thin flap, laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and photorefractive keratectomy with mitomycin-C (PRK-MMC) are the two most common refractive surgical procedures used to enhance visual capability in the U.S military. The purposes of the study were to examine effects on quality of vision following LASIK and PRK-MMC using a novel computer-based quick contrast sensitivity function (qCSF) test.

Topical cyclosporine A for postoperative photorefractive keratectomy and laser in situ keratomileusis.

Purpose: To compare the stability and predictability of the refractive outcomes in eyes treated with photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) or laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with and without postoperative use of topical cyclosporine A emulsion.

Setting: Naval Medical Center San Diego Refractive Surgery Center, San Diego, California, USA.

Design: Randomized clinical trial.
