Corneal scars were removed with PTK, followed by PRK for myopia. Healon was used to make corneal surface smoother during operation. 30 eyes of 24 cases of myopia with corneal scars were followed up for one year. Mean corrected vision was 0. 51 and myopic degree was -6. 42D ±4. 26D before operation. After operation, corneal scars of 21 eyes (70. 0%) were removed in oper- ative zone. The vision of 27 operated eyes (90. 0%) was equal to or better than best corrected vi- sion. Mean postoperative visual acuity was 0. 72. Corneal surface was smoother and astigmatism was reduced after the surgery. Our study showed that PTK combined with PRK is a safe and effective treatment for myopia with corneal scars.展开更多
