Three-year outcomes of mixed astigmatism correction with single-step transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy with a large ablation zone.

Purpose: To evaluate refractive and visual outcomes of single-step transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (transPRK) in the treatment of mixed astigmatism with the use of an aberration-neutral profile and large ablation zone.

Setting: Nicolaus Copernicus University and Oftalmika Eye Hospital, Bydgoszcz, Poland.

Design: Retrospective, observational case series.

Three-year outcomes after high hyperopia correction using photorefractive keratectomy with a large ablation zone.

Aim: To evaluate refractive and visual outcomes of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) to treat high hyperopia using an aberration-neutral profile and large ablation zone.

Methods: This was a retrospective, consecutive observational case series at the Oftalmika Eye Hospital, Bydgoszcz, Poland. We included 51 consecutive eyes of 34 patients who underwent alcohol-assisted PRK to correct hyperopia within the range of +3.
