Résumé / Abstract

The excimer laser has been undergoing rapid development for clinical use since the early 1980s. The authors report 2-year follow-up results from studies in 31 eyes (15 women and 14 men) to evaluate the excimer laser in performing photokeratectomy. Patients were divided into two groups: 27 eyes (group 1) underwent phototherapeutic keratectomy, and 4 eyes (group 2) underwent photorefractive keratectomy. Visual function improved in 21 of 27 eyes in group 1 and in 2 of 4 eyes in group 2. Complications were minimal and manageable
