AB  - Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) was performed with Excimer Laser after 
      undercorrected radial keratectomy in 21 eyes of 15 patients (maximum 8 incisions, 
      3 mm optical zone). There was at least a 6-month interval between the two 
      procedures. At the time of PRK, the mean age of the patients was 31 years and the 
      mean spherical equivalent -2.3 D. Mean follow-up after PRK was 7.5 months; 10 
      eyes were followed for more than one year. Quite satisfactory results were 
      obtained since PRK was effective in 88% (eyes with uncorrected visual acuity of 
      20/40 or better); predictability at +/- 1 D was 89%. Stable refractiveness was 
      achieved at 3 months. The procedure is safe: there was no loss of best corrected 
      visual acuity nor haze at one year. Other means of treating for undercorrection 
      after refractive keratectomy were discussed in comparison with this technique.
