Refractive versus corneal changes after photorefracive keratectomy for astigmatism.
PURPOSE To define measures of assessing success and subsequent ways to improve excimer laser treatment of astigmatism. METHODS We studied 97 eyes of 79 patients, followed for 12 months, that underwent photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for myopia and astigmatism with a VISX 20/20 excimer laser. Preoperative spherical equivalent refraction at the corneal plane was between -1.00 and -15.00 D. Me...
متن کاملPosterior corneal curvature changes following Refractive Small Incision Lenticule Extraction
PURPOSE To compare the posterior corneal curvature changes, in terms of corneal power and asphercity, following Refractive Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (ReLEx SMILE) procedure for low, moderate, and high myopia. METHODS This retrospective, non randomized, comparative, interventional trial; included 52 eyes of 26 patients, divided in three groups: low myopia (myopia ≤3 D [diopters] sphe...
متن کاملCorneal & refractive surgery.
Excimer lasers and high technology instrumentation have ushered in a new era of vision improvement surgery in Hawaii, replacing the more traditional forms of refractive surgery: cataract surgery, corneal transplant surgery, and radial keratotomy. Corneal surgery has been enhanced by new techniques of microsurgery and a more effective tissue procurement system for donor corneal tissue. Several l...
متن کاملMeasuring refractive- surgery-induced change of corneal aberrations
surgery-induced change of corneal aberrations Computerized videokeratography — which measures the shape of the cornea, typically by analysis of the distortion of concentric rings projected on it—is routinely used in clinics to evaluate surgical results (i.e., centration and location of the treatment zone and characteristic patterns of what is known in clinical terms as irregular corneal astigma...
متن کاملCorneal refractive therapy with different lens materials, part 1: corneal, stromal, and epithelial thickness changes.
PURPOSE To assess the corneal swelling response to two myopic correction corneal refractive therapy (CRT) lenses of varying Dk/t values, worn for a single night. Change in thickness of the total cornea, stroma, and epithelium was measured across the horizontal meridian using optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS In this double-masked, randomized study, twenty subjects wore a CRT design ...
