Detailed Description
Retrospectively review the medical records of all patients who underwent refractive surgery referred from the out-patient clinic of Tanta University hospital between September 2015 and September 2020 .
Data collection will include:
Preoperative and postoperative Evaluation: Age, sex, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), manifest and cycloplegic refraction, Slit lamp biomicroscopy, fundus examination.
Data of Corneal Tomography keratometric using Scheimpflug camera (Pentacam Oculus- Germany) :that includes the following indices
-
Average keratometric value (K mean) in diopters
-
Maximum simulated keratometry (Kmax) in diopters
-
Index of Surface Variance (ISV) in microns
-
Index of Vertical Asymmetey (IVA) in microns
-
Radii Minimum (R min) in microns
-
Index of height asymmetry (IHA) in microns
-
Index of height decantation (IHD) in microns
-
Aberration coefficient (ABR)
The data of the pentacam will be collected pre-operative and analyzed at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months with recording of the complications.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To evaluate the changes that occur in the corneal indices after corneal refractive surgery either PRK or LASIK. [6 months]
Using the results of measurements of Scheimpflug camera (Pentacam Oculus- Germany) :that includes the following indices Average keratometric value (K mean) in diopters Maximum simulated keratometry (Kmax) in diopters Index of Surface Variance (ISV) in microns Index of Vertical Asymmetey (IVA) in microns Radii Minimum (R min) in microns Index of height asymmetry (IHA) in microns Index of height decantation (IHD) in microns Aberration coefficient (ABR) The numbers from preoperative records will be compared with postoperative records after the refractive surgery is done . All the values will be expressed as mean ± standard deviation and the data will be analyzed as 1 months, 3 months and 6 months after surgery
