ABSTRACT
In order to compare the clinical results of Epikeratoplasty (EPK) with Laser in situ keratomileusis(LASIK) to be corrected of high myopia above -9 diopters, the effect of the procedure on 74 patients following EKP and 63 patients following LASIK who were followed up at least 1 year were analyzed retrospectively. Postoperative mean uncorrected visual acuity was reached 0.56 until 3 month in EKP group and 0.53 until 1 month in LASIK group. LASIK group recovered and stabilized more rapidly than EKP guoup(p<0.01). Also LASIK group had more rapid recovery in keratometryp(p<0.01) and mean refractive error than EKP group(p<0.01). But there was no significant difference between two groups in uncorrected visual acuity(p=0.62), keratometry(p=0.41) and mean refractive error(p=0.32) at postoperative 1 year. LASIK seems to have more rapid and effective visual recovery than EKP for high myopia treatment.
