Abstract: Myopia and astigmatism were corrected by laser specialized keratomylesis in 1357 eyes with myopia of 1-18.0 diopters and astigmatism up to -5.5 diopters. The proposed method is highly effective in myopia of different severity and astigmatism and is preferable to photorefraction keratectomy.
