Lasek for myopia: first results.

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy (LASEK) for the treatment of myopia and astigmatism (low, moderate and high). MATERIAL AND METHODS Laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy was performed by 3 surgeons in 45 eyes using an INPRO Gauss Excimer laser (31 eyes) or a NIDEK EC-5000 Excimer Laser (14 eyes). The mean follow-up is 9 months (3-15 mo...

Comparison of Visual Aberrations After SMILE and LASEK for Myopia.

I read with interest the article of Yu et al.1 about the “Comparison of Visual Quality After SMILE and LASEK for Mild to Moderate Myopia.” The authors compared the aberrations of the small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) technique versus eyes treated with laser-assisted sub-epithelial keratectomy (LASEK), measuring the aberrations with a dilated pupil at 6 mm. After 3 months of the treatm...

Visual Quality After SMILE and LASEK for Mild to Moderate Myopia.

PURPOSE To compare the objective and subjective quality of vision after femtosecond laser-assisted small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and laser-assisted subepithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) for mild to moderate myopia. METHODS This prospective, comparative study included 65 eyes of 33 patients in the SMILE group, with a mean spherical equivalent (SE) of -4.16 ± 0.82 diopters, and 50 ...

Optical biometry before and after excimer laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) for myopia.

PURPOSE In order to select the correct intraocular lens (IOL) for implantation, it is important to measure the eye length (biometry). The IOL Master from Zeiss-Humphry is frequently used for such measurements. Because this instrument employs an optical method, any irregularities on the corneal surface or any disturbances in corneal transparency could lead to mistakes in the measurements. The ai...
