Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare total high order aberrations between surgery which uses TransPRK and general laser assisted sub-epithelial keratomileusis.
Methods: The patients who had general laser assisted sub-epithelial and TransPRK laser assisted sub-epithelial by visiting ophthalmic clinic in Ulsan from January 2014 to August 2014 was researched.
Results: When comparing total high order aberrations before and after operation, it was found that total high order aberration in general laser assisted sub-epithelial group increased to 0.222±0.078 ㎛ from 0.074±0.019 ㎛ while that in TransPRK assisted sub-epithelial group increased to 0.179±0.045 ㎛ from 0.076±0.032 ㎛. When comparing the increment in total high order aberrations between two groups after surgery, it was found that the increments of TransPRK assisted sub-epithelial group were statistically smaller than that of general laser assisted sub-epithelial group (p<0.05).
Conclusions: This study made a comparative analysis of total high order aberrations between general laser assisted sub-epithelial and TransPRK assisted sub-epithelial which was introduced recently and the result showed a significant difference. The findings of this study suggest that TransPRK assisted sub-epithelial can be used widely in simply improving eye sight and quality of vision by reducing an increase in high order aberration caused by orthokeratology surgery. It is expected that TransPRK assisted sub-epithelial will be helpful for improving the understanding quality of eye sight which occurs by several methods of vision correction surgery.
