The visual, the diopter of myopia and the corneal curvature were observed.Results Three monthes after treatment the myopia degree was reduced by-5 75D,astigmatism with rale was decreased by-2 75D,respectively,96 47% of low myopia (≤-3 00D),64 49% moderate-high myopia (-3 00D～-7 25D) were recovered to emmetropia. A positive correlation was found between the spherical equivalent and the corneal curvature (?=0 993,P
