The authors hypothesise that corneal reshaping with refractive surgery could have an effect on myopic progression similar to that of orthokeratology because it results in changes to the central cornea and not to the peripheral cornea. This was a retrospective...
LASEK vs. epi-LASIK for myopia: meta-analysis
Previous studies have produced inconsistent conclusions on the relative benefits between LASEK vs. Epi-LASIK. LASEK uses 20% alcohol to separate an epithelial flap from the Bowman membrane. After ablation, the epithelial flap is repositioned onto the cornea. Epi-LASIK creates the...Retreatment of myopic LASIK with femtosecond and custom ablation

Cornea / External Eye Disease
This prospective, randomised, single surgeon, contralateral-eye clinical trial compared the results in myopic patients undergoing wavefront-guided femtosecond laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in one eye and small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) in the fellow eye. The patient-reported outcomes with laser in...

Cataract and Refractive
This multicentre, retrospective, interventional case series assesses the outcomes of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in 113 patients taking isotretinoin between January 2003 and September 2017. Isotretinoin is contraindicated for LASIK and PRK and patients are...
