PURPOSE: To determine changes in stereoacuity in anisometropic myopic eyes after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). METHODS: Myopic patients with at least 1 diopter (D) of anisometropia in sphere, astigmatism, or spherical equivalent who were referred to our hospital for excimer refractive surgery were enrolled as a prospective sequential interventional case series. All patients underwent wavefront-guided photorefractive keratectomy (WFG-PRK) using the Technolas Perfect Vision (217z) Excimer laser machine. Changes in binocular stereoacuity were evaluated using the TNO and Butterfly stereoacuity tests before and at 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months after the operation. RESULTS: = 0.80), respectively, 6 months after WFG-PRK. Overall improvement in stereoacuity was 10.2% and 6.12% according to the TNO and Butterfly stereoacuity tests, respectively. CONCLUSION: Stereoacuity improves after WFG-PRK for treatment of anisometropic myopia. This improvement is more accurately detectable by the TNO than the Butterfly stereoacuity test.
