Material And Methods: Children affected by CPG, aged from 1 day to 3 years at the time of the diagnosis were retrospectively included between 1999 and 2014. All benefited from a DS with use of antimetabolites.
Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the visual outcome of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in patients with mild to moderate stable keratoconus and to assess the risk of progression of the disease after the excimer laser procedure.
Methods: In this prospective study, carried out at the Clemenceau Medical Center, an affiliate of Johns Hopkins International, in Beirut, Lebanon, 119 eyes from 72 patients with grade 1-2 keratoconus (Amsler-Krumeich classification) underwent PRK. Forty-seven patients had both eyes treated and 25 patients had one eye treated.
