Abstract

This study aimed to assess the results of correcting myopia with transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (TransPRK) performed using the Schwind Amaris Machine. A total of 44 eyes have been included in this prospective study. The preoperative sphere was between (-1.25 and -8.00 DS), while the preoperative cylinder dioptres varied from (-0.75 to -5.00 DC). Before surgery and three months later, measurements were conducted to evaluate uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuity. The study focused on both clinical and visual outcomes. Following Three months after TransPRK, the included eyes had an uncorrected distance visual acuity better than or the same as preoperative CDVA; no patient showed loss of two lines; 31.8% (14 eyes) maintained the same level; 54.5% (24 eyes) improved by one line; 11.3% (five eyes) improved by two lines; and the remaining 2.2% (one eye) had a decrease of one line. The slit lamp exam post-operatively shows complete epithelial healing within five days, but only 4.35% (one candidate) show grade 1 central haze. TransPRK is a reliable and effective option for managing myopia safely.
