Methods: The study included healthy patients with myopia and\/or compound myopic astigmatism enrolled for refractive surgery and treated with PRK using a 210 nm wavelength, 2 kHz repetition rate, UV all-solid-state laser (LaserSoft, Katana Technologies GmbH, Kleinmachnow, Germany). All subjects were examined at baseline and after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after the treatment with a slit lamp, refraction, visual acuity assessment (logMAR chart), tonometry, ophthalmoscopy, and corneal tomography with a Scheimpflug camera. The outcome measures considered were uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuities, refraction, central corneal thickness, and transparency. The efficacy, safety, predictability, and stability were determined. Results: The study included 34 eyes of 19 patients. The mean UDVA changed from 1.20 \u00b1 0.43 to \u22120.05 \u00b1 0.10 logMAR at 12 months, and the mean CDVA changed from \u22120.03 \u00b1 0.06 to \u22120.06 \u00b1 0.09 logMAR, respectively. The mean spherical equivalent (SE) changed from \u22124.90 \u00b1 2.12 D to \u22120.01 \u00b1 0.40 D and was within \u00b10.50 D of the intended correction in 91% of eyes and within \u00b11.00 D in 97% of eyes at 12 months. No eyes lost lines of visual acuity, and 64% of eyes gained one or more lines. Conclusions: PRK with the 210 nm wavelength, 2 kHz repetition rate, all-solid-state laser LaserSoft system proved to have good visual, refractive, and clinical outcomes after the follow-up at 12 months. The emerging gas-free, solid-state technology might be considered a valid alternative for the gas operating lasers for corneal refractive surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12134311","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,28]],"date-time":"2023-06-28T00:45:11Z","timestamp":1687913111000},"page":"4311","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["One-Year Results of Photorefractive Keratectomy for Myopia and Compound Myopic Astigmatism with 210 nm Wavelength All Solid-State Laser for Refractive Surgery"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8083-3437","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna M.","family":"Roszkowska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ophthalmology Clinic, Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Messina, 98100 Messina, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Krakow University, 30-705 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Tumminello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ophthalmology Clinic, Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Messina, 98100 Messina, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carmelo","family":"Licitra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ophthalmology Clinic, Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Messina, 98100 Messina, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alice A.","family":"Severo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ophthalmology Clinic, Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Messina, 98100 Messina, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2854-4141","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leandro","family":"Inferrera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ophthalmology Clinic, Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Messina, 98100 Messina, Italy"},{"name":"Eye Clinic, Department of Medical, Surgical Sciences and Health, University of Trieste, 34127 Trieste, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8274-2988","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Umberto","family":"Camellin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ophthalmology Clinic, Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Messina, 98100 Messina, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Domenico","family":"Schiano-Lomoriello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IRCCS\u2013Fondazione Bietti, 00198 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9582-9799","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pasquale","family":"Aragona","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ophthalmology Clinic, Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Messina, 98100 Messina, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1828","DOI":"10.1016\/S0161-6420(93)31390-4","article-title":"Ultraviolet solid-state laser (213-nm) photorefractive keratectomy: In vitro study","volume":"100","author":"Ren","year":"1993","journal-title":"Ophthalmology"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2536","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcrs.2004.04.071","article-title":"Experimental and clinical investigation of efficiency and ablation profiles of new solid-state deep-ultraviolet laser for vision correction","volume":"30","author":"Roszkowska","year":"2004","journal-title":"J.
