This study evaluates the efficacy, predictability and safety of LASIK surgery as a treatment for myopia performed as part of a large-scale, prospective clinical audit spanning 10 years in an Asian study population and to evaluate the outcomes and trends.

Prospective, nonrandomized, single-center, multisurgeon study.

We included 37 932 eyes of 19 753 patients that underwent myopic LASIK at the Singapore National Eye Centre between 1998 and 2007.
