ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This study was to investigate the effect on early visual outcome of corneal cap attachment with brushing after LASIK.METHOD:
We studied 40 eyes of 20 patients who received LASIK from April, 1998 to March, 1999. Early visual acuity was measured in the first, second and third day after LASIK between the group that received brushing procedure and the group that didn't.RESULT:
The consecutive group that received brushing procedure showed considerable increase in recovery rate of visual acuity compared to the control group that did not receive brushing procedure on the first day (P0.05) after LASIK.CONCLUSION:
We think that corneal cap attatchment with brushing helps early visual recovery and further investigation in this study is needed.
