Corneal & 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 کاملCorneal or lens refractive surgery?
E xcimer lasers are used today practically all over the world to treat refractive errors. This provides us with a wealth of data and findings that must be analyzed, presented, interpreted, and discussed. One major finding is already certain: the absolute and indisputable necessity of refractive surgery. Even those who are skeptical about refrac-tive surgery must accept this. Patients simply do ...
متن کاملThe evolution of corneal and refractive surgery with the femtosecond laser
The use of femtosecond lasers has created an evolution in modern corneal and refractive surgery. With accuracy, safety, and repeatability, eye surgeons can utilize the femtosecond laser in almost all anterior refractive procedures; laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE), penetrating keratoplasty (PKP), insertion of intracorneal ring segments, anterior ...
متن کاملMitomycin C in corneal refractive surgery.
Mitomycin C has played a deciding role in the current revival of excimer laser surface ablation techniques. We review the literature regarding mechanism of action of mitomycin C, histological effects on the cornea, and indications, dose, exposure time, and toxicity of mitomycin C in corneal refractive surgery. Mitomycin C is an alkylating agent with cytotoxic and antiproliferative effects that ...
