Base Curves of Bandage Contact Lenses and Their Effects on Post Trans-PRK Vision and Pain

Both eyes were treated consecutively in each patient by single-step Trans-PRK performed by SCHWIND Amaris 500 S excimer laser platform (SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions GmbH, Kleinostheim, Germany). Topical Proparacaine Hydrochloride Eye Drops 0.5% (Alcaine, Alcon, Fort Worth, TX, USA) were used to anesthetize the eyes, and use povidone-iodine to disinfect the eyelid skin. After a lid speculum had been inserted, and the other eye was blocked. Epithelial and stromal ablations were performed using a single continuous laser shooting session on an excimer laser platform. After the appeals step, Mitomycin C 0.02 % was applied to the stromal surface for 20 s, then rinse with cold salt water.

After surgery. A contact lens placed on the cornea, with an 8.4-mm base curve in right eye and one with an 8.8-mm base curve in the left eye.
