Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) involves mechanical or alcohol assisted debridement of the epithelium that leads to potential basement membrane (BM) injury ,with resultant more significant haze and pain compared to laser assisted epithelial removal known as 2 step trans-epithelial PRK (PTK-PRK). Our study is focusing on comparing the outcomes of the conventional 2 step trans-epithelial PTK-PRK to the new single step trans-epithelial PRK (StreamLight PRK, Alcon lab, TX, USA).
