Hyperopic laser keratorefractive surgery: Do steep corneas have worse outcomes?

To report the visual and refractive outcomes of hyperopic patients undergoing laser keratorefractive surgery in preoperatively steep corneas versus a matched control group. Retrospective cohort study. All patients underwent photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) or laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) at Care-Vision Laser Centers, Tel-Aviv, Israel, between 1/2000 and 11/2016. Patients were divided into two groups: steep corneas (mean keratometry ≥ 44.00 D) and control group (mean keratometry
