Refractive outcome of wavefront guided laser in situ keratomileusis and wavefront guided photorefractive keratectomy in high pre-existing higher order aberration

Highlights • WF-LASIK and WF-PRK showed similar results in terms of efficacy, safety and predictability. • WF-PRK eyes showed better contrast sensitivity values than WF-LASIK eyes. • There was trend of lesser induction of HOAs in WF-PRK Group vs. WF-LASIK group. • WF-PRK may be preferred in highly a...

More Information
Summary:Highlights • WF-LASIK and WF-PRK showed similar results in terms of efficacy, safety and predictability. • WF-PRK eyes showed better contrast sensitivity values than WF-LASIK eyes. • There was trend of lesser induction of HOAs in WF-PRK Group vs. WF-LASIK group. • WF-PRK may be preferred in highly aberrated corneas over WF-LASIK.
