Light adjustable lens in a post-lasik patient
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Light Adjustable Lens is a newly approved lens that can be altered in-vivo after cataract surgery to address residual refractive error. This done through highly specific ultraviolet light applications two weeks post-operatively. Patients require 2-5 total adjustments. ability adjust the allows patients more confidently participate in surgical process while customizing their status. who have previously undergone corneal provide an added challenge surgeons. Because of induced changes structure, intraocular calculations difficult, ultimately leading variability outcome. adjustable sure change how surgeons and optometrists counsel manage pre- case described below details structure functionality as well clinical application post-LASIK patient.

Light-adjustable intraocular lens in post-LASIK and post-traumatic cataract patient.
The case illustrates the use of a light-adjustable intraocular lens (IOL) in a patient who had had refractive surgery and developed blunt trauma with resultant flap damage and traumatic cataract. Consistent with early reports of the light adjustable IOL, which show positive results in non-LASIK eyes, this case suggests that the light-adjustable IOL may have similar benefits in the post-LASIK ey...
متن کاملLight-adjustable lens.
PURPOSE First, to determine whether a silicone light-adjustable intraocular lens (IOL) can be fabricated and adjusted precisely with a light delivery device (LDD). Second, to determine the biocompatibility of an adjustable IOL and whether the lens can be adjusted precisely in vivo. METHODS After fabrication of a light-adjustable silicone formulation, IOLs were made and tested in vitro for cyt...
متن کاملA numerical model of light adjustable lens
We model numerically the mechanical effects of UV induced photo-polymerization in elastomeric artificial lens. The elastomer is originated upon cross-linking of a silicone matrix. UV irradiation of one side of the lens polymerizes selectively a photosensitive macromer, causing local variations of its concentration. The subsequent diffusion of macromers from high concentration to low concentrati...
متن کاملA cylindrical zoom lens unit for adjustable optical sectioning in light sheet microscopy
Light sheet microscopy became a powerful tool in life sciences. Often, however, the sheet geometry is fixed, whereas it would be advantageous to adjust the sheet geometry to specimens of different dimensions. Therefore we developed an afocal cylindrical zoom lens system comprising only 5 lenses and a total system length of less than 160 mm. Two movable optical elements were directly coupled, so...
متن کاملThe shape of posterior corneal surface in normal, post-LASIK, and post-epi-LASIK eyes.
PURPOSE. To evaluate the shape of the posterior corneal surface in eyes with normal myopia or myopic astigmatism and the changes after LASIK and epi-LASIK. METHODS. A total of 152 eyes were included in the study. The posterior corneal elevation was measured with Scheimpflug imaging (Pentacam; Oculus, Wetzlar, Germany), before LASIK or epi-LASIK and at 1 and 6 months after surgery, along the fou...
