AB  - Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser assisted in situ keratomileusis 
      (LASIK), using an excimer laser, are the currently popular techniques of 
      correcting refractive errors. Since these techniques work by selective ablation 
      of corneal stroma, the tissue healing response plays a great role in the ultimate 
      outcome of surgery. Also, various methods of wound healing modulation can be used 
      to achieve better results. While these procedures do lead to a decrease in 
      dioptric power and increase in unaided visual acuity, higher visual functions 
      like contrast sensitivity can sometimes be compromised after the surgery.
