With the advent of corneal refractive surgery using excimer laser technology, treatment for corneal and refractive disorders have advanced tremendously and become very precise and predictable. The use of these techniques in the treatment of corneal and refractive disorders in children, especially during the amblyogenic ages, would be invaluable. Numerous reports on refractive surgery in children have demonstrated that it can be performed safely and efficaciously in the pediatric population. However, controversy still exists whether it should be done in this population. We explore the available published data to address this controversy.
随着准分子激光技术用于角膜屈光手术的出现，角膜和屈光疾病的治疗取得了巨大进展，变得非常精确且可预测。这些技术在治疗儿童角膜和屈光疾病中的应用，尤其是在弱视高发年龄段，将具有极高的价值。众多关于儿童屈光手术的报告表明，该手术在儿童群体中能够安全、有效地进行。然而，对于是否应对这一群体实施手术仍存在争议。我们通过探究已发表的可用数据来解决这一争议。
