Overview

Retrospective study shows comparable safety and refractive outcomes in different keratectomy techniques for patients with recurrent corneal erosion syndrome.

Key Points

  • PRK showed effective symptom relief with a 1.0 or better uncorrected visual acuity in all patients.
  • A total of 79 eyes from 62 patients were analyzed, including three treatment groups for comparison.
  • Significant differences in treatment zone diameter were observed between PRK and PTK with a p-value of 0.001.
  • Delayed corneal epithelial healing was noted in several eyes across all groups, indicating a need for monitoring.
