Abstract
- We studied the effects of three different treating methods on corneal repithelization after PRK such as pressure patch, therapeutic contact lens and collagen shield. The degree of pain among three different treating groups showed same results without difference. The postoperative corneal wound healing rate in collagen shield group was slower than the other groups at first day. The corneal wound healing duration in therapeutic contact lens was faster than the other groups. Therefore we could obtained the results that therapeutic contact lens treated group is clinically excellent method for accelerating corneal wound healing after excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy.
