Myopic regression after phakic intraocular lens implantation and LASIK.
PURPOSE In myopia, biometry including the axial length is important, along with the refractive data. We compared the rates of myopic regression 3 years after phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) after matching the preoperative axial length in highly myopic eyes of Japanese patients. METHODS This retrospective nonrandomized study included 133 eye...
متن کامل[Posterior polymorphous dystrophy and LASIK].
OBJECTIVE/METHOD A 50-year-old hyperopic woman requested information about refractive surgery. Vesicle and band lesions at Descemet's membrane and endothelium were suggestive of posterior polymorphous dystrophy (PPD). Lower than normal endothelial cell densities were detected. A corneal refractive procedure was not recommended in this case. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS The presence of vesicles and ban...
متن کاملIncidence of Posterior Vitreous Detachment After Femtosecond LASIK Compared With Microkeratome LASIK.
PURPOSE To compare the incidence of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) after femtosecond and microkeratome laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). SETTING Rowad Correction Centre, Cairo, Egypt (a private center affiliated to Cairo University). DESIGN Prospective, nonrandomized comparative unmasked study. METHODS The study was conducted at a single laser center. Eligible patients chose betw...
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...
متن کاملPosterior Corneal Curvature Assessment after Epi-LASIK for Myopia: Comparison of Orbscan II and Pentacam Imaging
PURPOSE To compare the changes in posterior corneal curvature using scanning slit topography (Orbscan II) and Scheimpflug imaging (Pentacam) before and after Epi-laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for myopia. METHODS In a prospective observational case-series study, 20 myopic patients having undergone Epi-LASIK were examined serially with two different devices, Orbscan II and Pentacam, preo...
