In a retrospective study of 174 myopic eyes (MRSE range: –0.125 to –10.50 D) treated with wavefront-guided PRK using the VISX CustomVue S4 IR laser and followed for 12 months, 82% of eyes were within ±0.50 D of intended correction. UDVA was 20/20 or better in 94% of low to moderate myopic eyes and 76% in higher myopic eyes. There was minimal increase in higher order aberrations in lower myopes and an approximate doubling of total higher order aberrations in higher myopes.
