Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the refractive error of patients (including the amount of sphere and cylinder and cylinder axis) and determining the corrected vision before and after Trans epithelial Phototherapeutic Keratectomy
Design
The sample size was calculated using G Power software for 30 samples. In this study, there is no control group and therefore there was no need for blinding and the results are compared with studies in the American book.
Settings and conduct
Among the patients referred to the Nikookari Eye Hospital of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences; patients who have undergone refractive surgery and have reduced vision by 2/10 to 9/10 and visual symptoms such as halo or diplopia and in the corneal epithelial map Irregularities in the corneal epithelium are included in the study if desired and with informed consent (TE-PTK) using a Excimer laser with a wavelength of 193 nm using local anesthesia in the operating room. dressing lens is placed and antibiotic and betamethasone drops are started for the patient. Their vision and refraction are measured on the first day and the first and third months. Also, the epithelial map is taken from the patient's cornea after 3 months.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patient with reduced vision after refractive surgery and completing the informed consent form to participate in the study Exclusion criteria:1.collagen diseases and diabetes 2. Eye surface diseases or dry eyes 3. Patients with ocular pathologies
Intervention groups
For patients with reduced vision after refractive surgery by 2/10 to 9/10 and visual symptoms such as halo or diplopia, Transepithelial Phototherapeutic keratectomy(TE-PTK) is performed using a excimer laser and under local anesthesia.
Main outcome variables
Patients' vision before treatment and the first day and the first and third months after surgery

Description
Among the patients referred to the Nikookari Eye Medical Center of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, patients who have undergone refractive surgery in the past and have reduced vision by 2/10 to 9/10 and also have visual symptoms such as halo or diplopia, and in the Corneal epithelial mapping is irregular in the corneal epithelium. If desired and with informed consent, they are included in the study. Trans epithelial Phototherapeutic Keratectomy is performed using a excimer laser with a wavelength of 193 nm using local anesthesia in the operating room. During this surgery, the corneal epithelium is removed only in irregular areas and then the excimer laser is applied and the dressing lens and antibiotics and betamethasone drops are started for the patient.Their vision and refraction are measured on the first day and the first and third months. Also, the epithelial map is taken from the patient's cornea after 3 months.
