Purpose: To evaluate the correlation of central corneal thickness (CCT) with refractive error and keratometry in a group of patients eligible for laser keratorefractive surgery, which may serve as a bias in studies on intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement Methods: In a cross sectional observational study, the right eyes of 340 patients who underwent laser keratorefractive surgery during the ye...

Introduction: Traditional therapy for anisometropic amblyopia often fails when severe anisometropia is present. Recent advances in refractive surgery for anisometropic amblyopia suggest that surgical treatment may be a viable alternative in certain situations. Methods: The potential indications for refractive surgery for anisometropia, the different refractive procedures available, and the risk...

conclusions by using the normal angle kappa determined in this study, pseudodeviations can be identified more precisely in those who might undergo keratorefractive surgery. results a total of 977 healthy participants who aged 18 to 45 years were included consecutively. the study population consisted of 614 females and 363 males. the average angle kappa was 5.00º ± 1.36º at 240.21º ± 97.17º in m...

We present a review of keratorefractive and intraocular approaches to managing residual astigmatic and spherical refractive error after cataract surgery, including laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), arcuate keratotomy, intraocular lens (IOL) exchange, piggyback IOLs, and light-adjustable IOLs. Currently available literature suggests that laser vision correc...

Excimer laser ablation has been proposed as a technique for keratorefractive surgery. Clinical acceptance of linear-incision laser keratectomy may depend on the availability of a method for accurately and noninvasively monitoring incision depth during the ablation process. We have developed a femto-second optical ranging technique for measurement of corneal incision depth. This technique uses n...
