Popis: Purpose To evaluate the predictive factors for safety and efficacy in laser refractive surgery for myopia Setting A singular refractive surgery center, at a University-affiliated tertiary medical center. Design Retrospective cohort study Methods Study population—A total 8,775 eyes having laser refractive laser procedures for myopia (in4,623 patients). Observation procedures–Using a prospective database of refractive procedures performed over the span of 13 years, variables such as gender, age, type of surgery, date of surgery, pre-operative corneal thickness and Spherical Equivalent (SEQ) were evaluated. Main outcome measures—Proportion of patients with Safety index higher than 0.85 and Efficacy index higher than 0.80. Results 91.9% and 86.0% of all evaluated eyes were above the safety and efficacy cut-off levels, respectively. Younger age was significantly correlated with safety and efficacy indices above the cut-off levels (p
