The effects of topical steroids on refractive outcome and corneal haze, thickness, and curvature after photorefractive keratectomy with a 6.0-mm ablation diameter

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of topical prednisolone acetate after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) using a 6.0-mm ablation diameter on the refractive and visual outcomes, corneal haze, corneal thickness, and corneal curvature in a prospective, double-masked, randomized manner.
