Abstract

Background: Myopia is a condition in which the eye's refraction (or ability to focus) is greater than what is required for good distant vision. For individuals with moderate to severe myopia, the two main surgical techniques for correcting their vision are excimer laser surgery and phakic intraocular lenses (IOLs). Objectives: to evaluate the visual outcome between LASIK, transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (trans-PRK) and implantable collamer lenses for correction of moderate to high myopia. Patients and Methods: This study was conducted on forty-five patients with moderate to high myopia (-4 to -10 diopters). It was carried out at Ophthalmology Department at Menoufia University Hospital from April 2021 to October 2022. Results: 8 patients (53.33%) had operation on right eye and 7 patients (46.67%) had operation on left eye among transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy group. Also, 10 patients (66.67%) had operation on right eye and 5 patients (33.33%) had operation on left eye among implantable collamer lens group. Also, 10 patients (66.67%) had operation on right eye and 5 patients (33.33%) had operation on left eye among laser assisted in situ keratomileusis group, with no significant difference (P=0.685). Conclusion: According to our study's findings, individuals with high myopia who had ICL implantation had somewhat higher postoperative visual quality than those who had LASIK, particularly if their corneal thickness was restricted and they had more refractive regression.
