Transepithelial Versus Conventional PRK: A Randomized Controlled Study by Robert Edward T. Ang

“…Unlike conventional PRK, which is a two-step process involving the physical removal of the corneal epithelium prior to excimer laser treatment of the stroma, t-PRK uses the excimer laser to complete both activities in a single-step procedure. Methods This was a prospective, randomized, controlled, contralateral, masked, single-surgeon study of adult subjects with myopia with a manifest residual spherical equivalent (MRSE) of ≤ 1.5 D or hyperopia with an MRSE of ≥  + 1.5 D, conducted at a single center in the Philippines. …”
