摘要
We present the results of a survey carried out by independent researchers to determine the subjective success rate of a series of excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy procedures to correct myopia. Thirty patients, selected at random from a group of 300, had received treatment to both eyes with a minimum of six months follow-up on the second eye. Forty-four patients, selected at random from a group of 120, had received treatment to one eye only with five months of follow-up. The results show a high level of satisfaction with the results of the procedure.
