Visual and Refractive Outcomes of Laser Vision Correction in Carefully Selected Patients with Diabetes Mellitus: Laser Vision Outcomes in Diabetes: A Retrospective Study
Listen to this summary
The study aimed to evaluate the visual and refractive outcomes of laser vision correction (LVC) techniques, specifically photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), in adults with controlled diabetes mellitus (DM) compared to healthy controls. The findings indicated that both PRK and LASIK provided comparable safety and visual outcomes for carefully selected patients with controlled DM, suggesting that current guidelines regarding LVC in this population may be overly conservative.

"Oslr has become part of my weekly routine on my day off. The clinical relevance of the summaries is outstanding — I'd rate it 9/10. Being able to consume research hands-free is a huge advantage for busy physicians."
