TI  - Femtosecond laser assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) yields better 
      results than transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (Trans-PRK) for 
      correction of low to moderate grade myopia.

AB  - INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of 
      transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (Trans-PRK) with femtosecond laser 
      assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) for the correction of low to moderate 
      myopia. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study design was used. The study group 
      included patients with myopia less than -6.0 D, with or without concomitant 
      astigmatism under 2.0 D, who were treated with FS-LASIK or Trans-PRK in 2013 
      through 2014. Background, clinical and outcome data were collected from the 
      patient files. A comparison between eyes treated with FS-LASIK or Trans-PRK was 
      performed. RESULTS: The Trans-PRK group was comprised of 1793 eyes and the 
      FS-LASIK group of 666 eyes. Mean +/- SD spherical equivalent (SE) refraction prior 
      to surgery was -3.43 +/- 1.27 D in the Trans-PRK group and -3.18 +/- 1.34 D in the 
      FS-LASIK group (p < 0.001). Efficacy index values were 0.95 +/- 0.14 in the 
      Trans-PRK group and 0.98 +/- 0.12 in the FS-LASIK group (p < 0.001), and 
      corresponding safety index values were 0.96 +/- 0.13 and 0.99 +/- 0.12 (p < 0.001). 
      Distance from target refraction was 0.45 +/- 0.42 D in Trans-PRK group and 
      0.43 +/- 0.38 D in the FS-LASIK group (p = 0.537); 71.6% and 74.2% of eyes were 
      within +/-0.5 D of attempted correction, respectively (p = 0.193). CONCLUSIONS: 
      Both Trans-PRK and FS-LASIK demonstrated excellent results, mostly comparable 
      with the current literature. FS-LASIK achieved better results than Trans-PRK 
      surgery in the efficacy and safety parameters.
