Effects of superficial keratectomy in peripheral hypertrophic subepithelial corneal opacification on front and back corneal astigmatism.

CONCLUSION: Superficial keratectomy reduces anterior corneal astigmatism more than posterior corneal astigmatism in patients with PHSCO. Furthermore, a myopic shift and corneal steepening in the peripheral and mid-peripheral cornea was observed after removal of the subepithelial corneal opacification spots.
