Abstract
We report the results in six eyes on which we performed a new surgical method: intrastromal corneal excimer laser photoablation following lamellar corneal keratectomy with a microkeratome. The study was designed to evaluate the clinical and refractive efficacy of the procedure, to assess the behavior of the cornea following stromal photoablation, and to evaluate the relationship between the number of laser pulses and the decrease of myopia. The technique demonstrated an excellent corneal response to photoablation but a poor refractive predictability.Keywords
