Popis: 1. 45 myopes (-3.0 to -6.0 D) were examined before and 1 and 6 months after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). Visual acuity (VA) was tested using Snellen and logMAR charts. Contrast sensitivity (CS) was measured using a computerized system. 2. Preoperative best corrected VA (BCVA) in myopes was significantly lower in comparison with a control group using logMAR charts only. A reduction of BCVA by both methods at 1. month and its return after 6 months nearly to original values was noted. 3. Significantly lower values of CS were found in patients before PRK compared to the control group. After 1 and 6 months stayed the values on preoperative level.
