High Astigmatism Correction in Myopia: A Comparative Study of Photorefractive Keratectomy and Keratorefractive Lenticule Extraction
Both PRK and KLEX are effective and predictable procedures that yield satisfactory visual outcomes for correcting myopic astigmatism. However, KLEX tends to undercorrect astigmatism in patients with high preoperative astigmatism, most likely because of the absence of a nomogram adjustment, whereas the PRK platform incorporates a built-in manufacturer correction.
