Abstract

Purpose: To compare changes in the value and location of the corneal thinnest point, anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber volume (ACV) and iridocorneal angel after myopic transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (tPRK) by CSO Sirius imaging device. Materials and Methods: In this prospective comparative case series, 56 myopic eyes scheduled for tPRK in Tishreen University Hospital, underwent CSO SIRIUS imaging before and 6 months after the operation to compare changes in the value and location of the corneal thinnest point, (ACD), (ACV) and iridocorneal angel. Results: The mean age of the patients was 26.58
