A retrospective cross-sectional and comparative study of a set of 400 eyes from 270 patients was made. They had been operated on from myopia ranging 1-7 dioptries, using LASEK technique for myopia correction, at “Camilo Cienfuegos” International Ophthalmology Clinics. Complete studies of these patients were performed at the preoperative and postoperative phases up to 2 years of evolution. The examined variables were keratometry(k), visual acuity without and with glasses, sphere, cylinder, pachymetry, all of which were compared before and after surgery. Also data were gathered on complications in the first five days of operation. The statistics processor called STATISTICA operating on Windows 98 served to work out descriptive and comparative statistics. Student t test was used for dependent samples with significance values p<0,05. We concluded that visual acuity without glasses increased 6 lines as an average; in all these cases, the postoperative sphere of refraction was under 1D. Postoperative astigmatism was reduced, postoperative complications were slight, with full visual recovery
