PURPOSE
We compared the results of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for the correction of hyperopia. METHODS: Patients who underwent PRK or LASIK, under +6.00 diopters (D) hyperopia and under −2.00 D astigmatism were included. In total, 21 patients (38 eyes) underwent PRK surgery and 25 patients (41 eyes) underwent LASIK surgery. We compared the visual acuity, refractive error, safety, and efficacy between the two groups. RESULTS: The manifest refractive spherical equivalent (MRSE) of the PRK and LASIK groups at 1 and 3 months after surgery was significantly different between the two groups (p < 0.05). However, the MRSE was not significantly different at postoperative 6 and 12 months between the two groups. The uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) of the PRK and LASIK groups at 1 month after surgery was significantly different between the two groups (p < 0.05). However, the UCVA was not significantly different at postoperative 3, 6, and 12 months between the two groups. The best-corrected visual acuity was not significantly different at postoperative 1, 3, 6, and 12 months between the two groups. The safety index was not significantly different between the two groups at postoperative 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. The efficacy index of the PRK group was lower than that of the LASIK group at 1 month after surgery. However, the efficacy index was not significantly different at postoperative 3, 6, and 12 months between the two groups. There was no statistically significant difference between the predictability of the two groups at postoperative 1 year. CONCLUSIONS: After PRK treatment, temporary myopic deviation was observed after 1 month, but there was no significant difference between the two treatments after 3 months of follow-up. In the correction of hyperopia, there was no significant difference between PRK and LASIK in efficacy or safety. |
