MARRAKECH, Morocco — A new ablation algorithm for transepithelial PRK effectively reduces haze formation and allows for the correction of even high myopia and myopic astigmatism without the use of mitomycin C, according to a study.
“The use of topical mitomycin C has been considered mandatory in order to prevent corneal haze, especially in deeper ablations. In collaboration with Schwind, we developed for the Amaris laser a new algorithm that enhances surface smoothness, reducing inflammation even in deep ablations,” Emilio Torres-Netto, MD, said at the European Society of
