Article Synopsis
- - Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is the original excimer laser procedure for treating refractive errors, proving to be safe and widely performed worldwide despite the rise of newer methods like LASIK and KLEx.
- - Although many surgeons prefer LASIK for its quicker recovery and comfort, PRK is still a strong option for many candidates and is particularly suitable in specific situations.
- - This review discusses various PRK techniques, compares refractive outcomes with other laser procedures, and examines the corneal healing responses, benefits, and complications associated with PRK to help surgeons make informed decisions.
We report herein a case of fitting with a photochromic silicone hydrogel contact lens under a rigid gas-permeable lens (piggyback system) for photophobia and low vision correction after traumatic aniridia and aphakia. A 40-year-old woman was referred to our practice for contact lens fitting in her right eye, which was left aphakic after an open globe injury. She also presented traumatic aniridia in the right eye, and her left eye had been previously eviscerated.
