Abstract

Objective:To evaluate the effect of excimer laser in situ keratomileusis(LASIK) on the correction of low,moderate and high myopia.Method:LASIK was performed on 242 eyes(122 patients)with refraction from-1 00to-18 00D.Postoperative follow-up period was 6～24months.Results:Naked visual acuity of94%eyes reached or exceeded their preoperative correction visual acuity.The postoperative refraction was within±1 00Di 90 3%eyes and was under correction in 19 eyes (7 8%).There were no serious postoperative complications.Conclusion:As a correction of myopia,LASIK is more accurate,effective and safer than photorefractive keratectomy.
