To compare the visual and refractive outcomes and the corneal structural changes in myopic patients after surface refractive treatments (ie, photorefractive keratectomy [PRK] with adjuvant mitomycin-C [MMC] and epithelial laser in situ keratomileusis [epi-LASIK]).
University of Crete, Heraklion, Crete, Greece.
Prospective comparative case series.
One eye of consecutive myopic patients was randomly assigned to PRK-MMC, and the fellow eye was treated with epi-LASIK. Visual and refractive outcomes and corneal confocal microscopy findings were evaluated. All patients were examined preoperatively and 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively.
Twenty-six eyes (13 patients) were included. The mean follow-up was 2.47 years ± 0.35 (SD) (range 1.64 to 2.93 years). In the PRK-MMC group, the mean preoperative spherical equivalent refraction was -3.84 ± 1.59 diopters (D) (range -1.5 to -8.7 D) and -0.21 ± 0.44 D (range -0.5 to 1.0 D) at the last follow-up and in the epi-LASIK group, -3.91 ± 1.48 D (range -1.5 to -8.5 D) and -0.18 ± 0.36 (range +0.5 to -0.5 D), respectively. Qualitative analysis of the subepithelial nerve plexus, haze development, and keratocyte distribution were similar in the 2 groups. There was no statistically significant difference in endothelial cell density between the groups throughout the follow-up (P>.05).
Epithelial LASIK and PRK-MMC gave similar visual, refractive, and corneal structural outcomes in patients with myopia for up to 2 years postoperatively.

比较表面屈光治疗(即光折射性角膜切削术[PRK]联合辅助丝裂霉素 C[MMC]和角膜上皮激光原位角膜磨镶术[epi-LASIK])后近视患者的视力和屈光结果以及角膜结构变化。

前瞻性比较病例系列。
连续近视患者的一只眼随机分配接受 PRK-MMC 治疗,对侧眼接受 epi-LASIK 治疗。评估视力和屈光结果以及角膜共焦显微镜检查结果。所有患者均在术前以及术后 1、3、6、12 和 24 个月进行检查。
共纳入 26 只眼(13 例患者)。平均随访时间为 2.47 年±0.35(SD)(范围 1.64 至 2.93 年)。在 PRK-MMC 组中,平均术前球镜等效屈光度为-3.84±1.59 屈光度(D)(范围-1.5 至-8.7 D),末次随访时为-0.21±0.44 D(范围-0.5 至 1.0 D),而在 epi-LASIK 组中,术前为-3.91±1.48 D(范围-1.5 至-8.5 D),末次随访时为-0.18±0.36 D(范围+0.5 至-0.5 D)。两组的上皮下神经丛、混浊形成和角膜细胞分布的定性分析相似。在整个随访期间,两组之间内皮细胞密度无统计学差异(P>.05)。
在术后 2 年内,近视患者接受角膜上皮 LASIK 和 PRK-MMC 治疗后,视力、屈光和角膜结构结果相似。
