FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves applying photorefraction type keratectomy with excimer laser used. Before applying photorefraction type keratectomy, it is to be determined, which patient eye is the sighting one. Contact lens adjusting vision function to emmetropia state is set on the sighting eye. Contact lens adjusting vision function to 1.5-2.0 D myopia is set on the other eye. No vision discomfort being observed, photorefraction type keratectomy is carried out. First of all, photorefraction type keratectomy is carried out on the eye not being the sighting one. Correction is carried out to achieve 1.5-2.0 D myopia. Complete epithelialization taking place, sighting eye photorefraction type keratectomy is carried out to reach emmetropia state. EFFECT: high quality of long distance vision with the sighting eye and short distance vision with the other eye.
