Abstract

Background: In a retrospective study corneal sensitivity after keratomileusis in situ and keratomileusis myopica was measured.

Method: 5 points on the cornea were measured with the Draeger aesthesiometer at 18 eyes after keratomileusis myopica and at 66 eyes after keratomileusis in situ.

Results: The ingrowth of corneal nerve fibres is delayed after keratomileusis myopica compared to keratomileusis in situ because of delayed stromal repopulation of keratocytes and disturbances of stromal metabolism due to toxic effects of the cryopreservation solution.
