Early Refractive and Clinical Outcomes of High-Myopic Photorefractive Keratectomy as an Alternative to LASIK Surgery in Eyes with High Preoperative Percentage of Tissue Altered by Nir Sorkin, Amir Rosenblatt, David Smadja, Eyal Cohen, Marcony R. Santhiago, David Varssano, Yossi Yatziv

“…Charts of 256 consecutive eyes that underwent PRK with application of mitomycin-C 0.02% for high myopia were retrospectively reviewed. Methods. Refractive (refraction and refractive accuracy) and visual outcomes (uncorrected and corrected visual acuities), as well as occurrence of haze in the eyes with preoperative PTA expected to be higher than 40% with a 110-micron flap if undergoing LASIK surgery, were analyzed. …”
