PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) for the correction of low myopia, and to compare the obtained results with a control group submitted to laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS: Prospective, nonrandomized and bilateral study. Fourteen patients with preoperative spherical equivalent ranging from -1.00 to -4.50 D received ICRS in one eye and LASIK in the other. Postoperative evaluations were performed at day one and seven and months 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24. RESULTS: At the last follow-up, 64.29% of ICRS eyes (9/14) and 85.71% of LASIK eyes (12/14) were within ± 0.50 D of the predicted refractive outcome (p=0.385). Uncorrected visual acuity of 20/20 or better was observed in four of 14 ...
