Dilute topical proparacaine for pain relief after photorefractive keratectomy.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to determine whether there is a nonanesthetic and nontoxic concentration of topical proparacaine that can be applied repeatedly to the cornea to reduce pain after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).

Methods: Part I: To determine a nonanesthetic concentration, the corneal sensitivity of 50 healthy volunteers was assessed using aesthesiometry before and after a drop of either 0.01%, 0.
