Popis: Ninety-five eyes of 91 patients with myopia from -1.00 to -6.00 D (mean -3.40 D, ±1.2) were treated with an ExciMed UV200LA 193-nanometer excimer laser (Summit Technology, Inc. Waltham, Mass) (with version 5.5 software) with a 5-millimeter ablation zone. At 6 months, 67 eyes (70%) were within ±0.50 D, 84 eyes (88%) were within ± 1.00 D, and 94 eyes (99%) were within ±2.00 D. There was an average overcorrection of + 0.25 D which had decreased to +0.18 D by 9 months. Best spectacle corrected visual acuity was 6/6 or better in 88 eyes (94%) and six eyes (6%) had a corrected visual acuity of 6/9. Fifty percent of eyes had slight astigmatism (mean 0.68 D, range 0.25 to 2.00 D) and this reduced to 0.33D (0.02>p>0.01) at 6 months. (Refract Corneal Surg (suppl) 1993;9:S103-S104.)
