Abstract
Purpose: To compare the post-PRK stromal findings in eyes treated with mitomycin-C vs. without mitomicyn-C, by using confocal microscopy. Methods: 20 eyes of 10 patients underwent PRK, 0.02% mitomycin-c was applied for 60 seconds in every left eye after stromal laser ablation. Confocal microscopy was done one week after surgery. Results: Corneal epithelium was normal in 100% of the post-operatory corneas. Activated keratocytes were found within 56.7 ± 17.31μ of stromal depth in right eyes and 30.9 ± 13.74μ (p < 0.05) in left eyes (eyes treated with mitomycin-C) at 1 week after surgery. Conclusion: Confocal microscopy findings after PRK in eyes treated by using mitomycin-C showed less stromal depth with activated keratocytes one week after surgery.
