Abstract

ABSTRACT: We performed myopic keratomileusis on ten patients. Six consecutive patients were treated with our standard postoperative regimen of topical antibiotics and pressure patching. In an attempt to promote a more rapid visual recovery, four consecutive patients were treated with a modified postoperative regimen that consisted of a therapeutic contact lens and intensive topical steroid therapy immediately postoperatively. This regimen did not significantly improve visual recovery or lenticular clarity compared to our standard postoperative treatment. The potential complications associated with contact lenses and topical steroids may not justify their use under these circumstances.
