In this clinical trial, it is decided that 30 patients who are candidates for photorefractive keratectomy will receive a drop of prepared medroxyprogesterone randomly in one of their eyes, in addition to the routine antibiotic drop that is normally placed at the end of the procedure. Afterward, a bandage contact lens will be applied to both eyes, and the patients will receive routine post-procedure drops, including betamethasone and ciprofloxacin drops for both eyes. On the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth days after the operation, the patients will be examined, and the size of the epithelial defect in both eyes will be assessed using a slit lamp device. Additionally, the patients' pain levels in each eye will be evaluated using a questionnaire." The main question is: General purpose: Determining the efficacy and safety of 1% topical medroxyprogesterone in repairing the corneal epithelium after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK)
