The demographics, data of efficacy, safety, predictability, stability, and post-operative complications were evaluated at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-operatively.Results: At 1-month, adolescents with low myopia achieved the highest mean efficacy index (P =0.034). The efficacy indices continuously increased during the 1-year follow-up in all groups, except in adolescents with moderate myopia. The highest safety and efficacy indices were recorded in adolescents with low myopia at 1-year. Post-operative spherical equivalent within ± 0.50 D at 1 year was 48.75% of all treated eyes; however, the final mean refractive spherical equivalent (MRSE) was under-corrected in all groups. By month 3, the percentage of eyes that had grade 0.5 haze was most prevalent in adolescents with moderate myopia (P < 0.001).Conclusion: two-step TransPRK using an EX500 proved to be an effective, predictable, stable and safe procedure for the correction of low to moderate myopia with or without astigmatism at 1 year. Adolescents with low myopia achieved the best-post-operative UDVA, efficacy and safety indices. Adolescents tolerated night visual problems and dry eye symptoms better than adults.Keywords: transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy, TransPRK, adolescent, two-step PRK, EX500Tangmonkongvoragul CSupalaset STananuvat NAusayakhun SDove Medical Pressarticletransepithelial photorefractive keratectomytransprkadolescenttwo-step prkex500OphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 4109-4119 (2021)
