Abstract
Compared with normal eyes, in previously myopic eyes treated with first-generation PRK lasers there is a tendency for (1) the optical quality of the retinal image to be reduced at low contrast, (2) the aberrations attributed to the corneal surface to increase, and (3) both measured subjective accommodation and near acuity to be greater than expected. We postulate that the corneal aberrations induced by PRK for myopia may reduce the quality of the retinal image for distance but enhance near acuity by way of a multifocal effect that can delay the onset of age-related near vision symptoms.
