BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare two doses of Mitomycin C in reducing haze formation after photorefractive keratectomy. METHODS 170 eyes of 85 patients enrolled; in each patient one eye randomly assigned to be treated by low dose intraoperative MMC (LDMMC) and other eye by standard dose MMC (SDMMC). Then the patients were followed up to 6 months and refraction, Uncorrected Distant Visua...
