“…In another study reporting the long-term results (1-3 years) of PRK on 68 eyes with thin corneas, PRK was suggested as a safe and predictable technique for myopic refractive corrections [14]. In another report from our country analyzing the long-term safety and efficacy of PRK in eyes with thin residual thickness (<400 µm), there was no sightthreatening haze or ectasia at the end of follow-up period (24 to 66 months) [26].…”

“…In such cases one can proceed with PRK combined with CXL. Photorefractive Keratectomy combined with collagen crosslinking is preferred for younger patients with low preoperative corneal thickness [16] and/or abnormal preoperative topography.…”

. resuLts. Mean BCVA was improved from 0.0075 ± 0.08 logMAR to 0.025 ± 0.05 logMAR postoperatively. Average keratometry reduced from 44.9 ± 1.9 D to 39.8 ± 3.9 D. Mean minimal corneal thickness reduced from 504 ± 16.7 μm to 405 ± 41 μm. None of the cases developed regression, corneal ectasia, or corneal haze. ConCLusions. Photorefractive keratectomy combined with high-fluence corneal collagen crosslinking (PRK XTRA) appears to be a safe and effective treatment for patients who are not good candidates for LASIK.

“…This has advantages in terms of higher patient comfort and faster healing time 3 , 4 . Short-term safety and efficacy of PRK are well studied and excellent 5 , 6 . However, refractive stability over several decades without any sequelae is necessary to make PRK a viable treatment option 7 .…”

Background To evaluate 10-year long-term refractive visual stability and participantsʼ satisfaction in the refractive treatment of myopic eyes undergoing topography-guided transepithelial surface ablation using a 1KHz excimer laser. Patients and Methods This single-center prospective survey assessed participantsʼ satisfaction 10 years after the treatment using a non-validated questionnaire with regards to visual outcome, dry eye, and visual disturbance symptoms. Pre- and postoperative visual and refractive data were evaluated. Results Of 106 participants (54% females) with a mean patient age of 36 (± 8.6) years, 166 eyes were included. Mean preoperative spherical equivalent (SE) was − 4.23 (± 2.48) diopters (D). Uncorrected distant visual acuity (UCVA) after 10 years was ≥ 1.0 (Snellen) in 92% of the eyes. Manifest SE was within ± 1.0 D of the desired refraction in 86% of the eyes after 10 years. Mean quality of life (QOL) improvement was high (9.15 out of 10 points). Dry eye symptoms were reported by 35 out of 104 (34%) patients. Visual symptoms like halos or starbursts were reported by 24 out of 101 (24%) and 12 out of 100 (12%) patients, respectively. Conclusions Topography-guided transepithelial surface ablation for myopia provided stable long-term results in terms of UCVA and SE. Participant satisfaction was high, with only low rates of dry eye or visual symptoms.
