“…The accepted outcome measures of excimer laser refractive surgery are uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), efficacy, safety, and stability of the refraction after the procedure. 1,2 Quality of vision is difficult to define by a single parameter. Some patients are dissatisfied with the quality of vision after excimer laser refractive surgery even though their Snellen acuity is 20/20 (1.0) or better.…”

“…Upon introduction of both surgical techniques, researchers attempted to reveal potential safety issues [12], with special attention to potential, immediate or late-onset hazardous impact on the retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) [13][14][15]. Some studies suggested that excimer laser PRK has no significant effect on RNFL measurements as determined by scanning laser polarimetry [16,17].…”

“…Outros estudos também tem demonstrado um aumento na indicação do PRK, já que essa técnica não apresenta complicações na confecção da lamela corneana, possuí menor risco de ectasia pós-ope ratória e resultados comparáveis ao LASIK (6)(7)(8)(9) .…”
