Abstract
Rrection was 13 D. Of 22 eyes, 17 eyes (77%) were within 4 D of emmetropia. Preoperative visual acuities without correction were between 2/200 and 20/100 (average = 2/40); postoperative acuities were between 2/200 and 20/20 (average = 20/40). Average preoperative best corrected visual acuity was 20/30. Best corrected visual acuities were unchanged or improved in 82% of cases. Re-epithelialization was complete within an average of seven days (range: three to 16 days) postoperatively except in one case in which the lenticule was removed because re-epithelialization did not occur. Five cases showed progressive loss of lenticular power. 1Reprint requests to Jin Hak Lee, M.D., Department of Ophthalmology, Seoul National University Hospital, Yeongun-dong 28, Chongro-gu, Seoul, 110-744, Korea.
