| Abstract | Background To evaluate differences in clinical outcome, safety, and efficacy of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in the correction of hyperopic refractive errors. Methods We have adhered to PRISMA criteria in this systematic review, which is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023469543). Our search with studies comparing PRK and LASIK for hyperopia was conducted through the databases PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. We used the Cochrane method to assess bias and evaluated variables like uncorrected distance visual acuity and mean spherical equivalent. Using fixed- or random-effects models, a meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 for evaluating heterogeneity and significance. Sensitivity analysis addressed the causes of heterogeneity to assure stability. Results We included 6 articles (419 participants, 585 eyes) in this review five were retrospective and 1 case-series. The final mean refractive SE (WMD, -0.05; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.42 to 0.31; P = 0.06). patients achieving uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) of 20/20 or better (OR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.39–0.78; P = 0.33). final UDVA of 20/40 or better (OR, 1.40; 95% CI, 0.65–3.02; P = 0.81) were analyzed. Conclusions In this meta-analysis, LASIK had no significant benefits over PRK in relation to clinical outcomes. Less corneal haze was observed in LASIK-treated eyes at 1 to 3 months after surgery. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
