Excimer laser surgery for keratoconus

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1998
To determine whether there is increased risk associated with excimer laser surgery of primary keratoconus.Department of Ophthalmology, County Council Hospital, Ryhov, Jönköping, Sweden.Twenty-four eyes in 23 patients with keratoconus had photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) to reduce the steepness of the cone.

Excimer Laser Surgery of the Cornea

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1983
The excimer laser, which produces light in the far-ultraviolet portion of the spectrum, allows precise removal of corneal tissue through a photochemical laser-tissue interaction. This interaction is not thermal and does not involve optical breakdown; rather, it directly breaks organic molecular bonds without tissue heating.

Excimer Laser Filtration Surgery

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1995
In order to remove precisely scleral tissue overlying Schlemm's canal with minimal trauma as an outpatient procedure under local anesthetic, we used a VisX Twenty/Twenty excimer laser.We performed excimer laser filtration in three enucleated pig eyes, seven enucleated human eyes, and seven eyes of seven patients with severe glaucoma.

Evolution of excimer laser corneal surgery

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1989
Interest in the potential of the excimer laser for refractive surgery was generated by a series of experiments performed in IBM's T.J. Watson laboratories. The development of photoablative decomposition was applied to corneas with immediate implication for corneal refractive control.

Excimer laser surgery for myopia and myopic astigmatism

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Ophthalmology, 1995
AbstractPhotorefractive keratectomy using the Summit Excimer Laser has been carried out on 1333 eyes with myopia or myopic astigmatism which have been followed up for six months or longer. Of those, 607 have been followed up for one year.Of the eyes with myopia or myopic astigmatism of up to 3 dioptres spherical equivalent, at one year 85.6% had ...
