Summary

This study compares two methods of removing the outer layer of the eye during laser vision correction (PRK) in 100 people aged 18-40 with mild to moderate nearsightedness. One method uses a laser to remove the layer, while the other uses a manual tool. The goal is to see which approach leads to clearer vision without glasses and faster healing.
