This document summarizes the current treatment options, outcomes, and controversies regarding refractive surgery in children. It reviews literature on various refractive surgery techniques like LASIK and PRK. While small studies show promise, there is no long-term data from large controlled trials. Key issues include risks of regression, flap complications, the impact of amblyopia on vision, and unknowns around healing in children. More research is still needed before refractive surgery can be considered routine for pediatric patients.
