Effectiveness of laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy without mitomycin-C for the treatment of high myopia

The results of LASEK without MMC were excellent in eyes with up to −8.6 D of SE. All eyes with a preoperative SE between −8.6 and −12.0 D developed haze but had acceptable refractive and visual outcomes. Haze and myopic regression limited the success of LASEK in eyes with a preoperative SE of −12.0 D and greater.
