«COLD LASIK» METHOD FOR DECREASE OF INFLAMMATION WHILE CORRECTING MODERATE AND HIGH LEVEL MYOPIA
A. I. Kovalev, N. M. Zakharash
Kiev, Ukraine
A comparative analysis of efficacy of LASIK and «Cool LASIK» treatment of patients with moderate and high level of myopia was made. Of 158 patients, 79 underwent LASIK and 79 underwent «Cold LASIK». As a result the level of discomfort and quantity of complications after «Cold LASIK» was less compared with LASIK. The visual acuity is better after «Cold LASIK».
