Abstract

A series of 84 eyes with up to -6.00 diopters (D) of myopia were treated by photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) using a 5.00 mm ablation zone. Three months postoperatively, 43 eyes (51%) complained of disturbed night vision, compared to 12 (14%) preoperatively. Ten (12%) had significant problems, ie, interference with driving at night. At 12 months, there were 32 patients (38%) with minor disturbances of night vision, 4 (5%) with significant problems.
