Manifest refraction, uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), and keratometric and aberrometric outcomes are reported at 12 months.Results: Significant improvement was observed postoperatively in visual acuity, refraction, and keratectomy in all eyes. At postoperative 12 months, 87.5% eyes were within ±1.0 D of attempted correction and 81.25% of eyes had a postoperative UDVA of 20/32 or better. A gain of 2 or more lines of CDVA was observed in 12.5% (2/16) of eyes and there was no change in CDVA lines in 25% (4/16) eyes. A substantial reduction in higher-order aberrations was observed in all eyes postoperatively; however, the improvement was not statistically significant.Conclusion: The outcomes of HRWG PRK in ectasia eyes with estimated residual stromal bed thickness of at least 350 µm (without epithelium) are promising at postoperative 1 year and provide surgeons with a valuable tool to improve vision with a high degree of refractive predictability.
