SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Post-operative days 1 - 8

Ophthalmologic assessment to determine re-epithelialization. Dimensions of the epithelial defects will be directly measured using slit lamp bio-microscopy. The baseline epithelial defect will be measured by surgeons on Day 1 at the time of surgery. A vertical and horizontal measure of defect in mm will be performed, and defect area calculated. A complete re-epithelization (absence of a defect) is defined when the measures equal zero.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Post-operative months 1, 3, 6, and 12

Population: Some patients missed one or more follow-up windows. We analyzed all available data.

Surface Regularity Index (SRI) obtained via Zeiss Atlas 9000 Corneal Topography™. SRI is a measure of central and paracentral corneal irregularity. A lower SRI suggests more regularity of the anterior surface of the central cornea. Lower values are considered better. The minimum value is 0 and no maximum. And, a value less than 1.55 is considered normal.
