- Brief Summary
The preoperative mean spherical equivalent refraction (SER) was -8.86±1.81and -9.25± 1.70 D; in t-PRK MMC group and Femto-Lasik respectively (P = 0.99)which improved to -0.65± 0.43D and -0.69±0.50 D at 12 months follow up. Mean SER remained stable during the 12 months of follow-up, with no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P =0.64). In t-PRK MMC group;only six eyes needed retreatment after six months of follow up. And two eyes showed haze (one reversible haze grade 2, while the other had dense irreversible haze grade 4).

high myopia (spherical equivalent refraction (SER) = -6.00 D. 17)
age 20–45 years
LASIK is not possible for full correction due to thin cornea with residual stromal bed = 280µm
Emmetropia was the target with full correction of the refractive error.
preoperative assessment of ocular topography, and included corneal dystrophy with topographic irregularity, pellucid marginal degeneration, formefruste keratoconus
severe dry eye syndrome
previous corneal or intraocular surgery
history of current eyelid disease, or any form of keratitis
patients with a history of keloid formation
Patients with incomplete 12 months follow up were excluded as well
