Through refractive surgery, it is now possible to correct various ametropias using new techniques such as photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). We hypothesized that patients submitting to PRK show higher peripheral thresholds attributable to poorer retinal quality than normal patients. However, no difference were found when comparing glaucoma with PRK patients. Thus, early glaucoma following PRK may be masked by the previous surgery.
