PURPOSE: To compare the long-term results of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for low to moderate myopia performed using a broad-beam laser system or a scanning-slit laser system.
SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland.
DESIGN: Case-control study.
METHODS: This follow-up study comprised eyes with myopia (-1.25 to -7.00 diopters [D]) or myopic astigmatism (astigmatism lower than -2.50 D) corrected by PRK using a broad-beam (Visx) or scanning-slit (Nidek) laser. Follow-up included a visit at 3 months and at more than 8 years. The uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), and manifest refraction were recorded.
RESULTS: The broad-beam group comprised 27 eyes and the scanning-slit group, 34 eyes. At the last postoperative follow-up, the UDVA was 0.0 or better in 55% of eyes in the broad-beam group and 65% of eyes in the scanning-slit group. The CDVA was 0.0 or better in all eyes in the broad-beam group and 96% of eyes in the scanning-slit group. Regarding predictability, 48% and 73% of the eyes, respectively, were within ±0.50 D of the intended spherical equivalent refraction. There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 laser groups in any preoperative or postoperative parameter.
CONCLUSION: There were no significant differences in UDVA, CDVA, or SE after PRK for low to moderate myopia between the broad-beam laser system and the scanning-slit laser system.
