GUIDELINES FOR EXCIMER LASER REFRACTIVE SURGERY ON CORNEA
Revista Sociedade Portuguesa de Oftalmologia, 2015Refractive surgery has undergone an extraordinary growth in recent decades, both in technical sophistication and in its popularity among patients. The goal of this work is to present current concepts on corneal Excimer laser refractive surgery. The authors, based on a comprehensive review of the literature and on their own experience, discuss practical

<title>Endoscopic excimer laser surgery</title>
SPIE Proceedings, 1994Long pulse excimer laser radiation can be efficiently coupled and transmitted through optical fibers allowing the achievement of both photoablative and photomechanical effects. In this work the investigation has been focussed on the urologic surgery field to demonstrate the effectiveness of an excimer laser system for very different therapeutic tasks ...

The Economics of the Excimer Laser for Refractive Surgery
Seminars in Ophthalmology, 1996Over the last 7 years, Arthur D. Little, Inc (Cambridge, MA) has taken a strong analytical approach to understanding the true potential of the refractive surgery market. This approach has compiled information from a multitude of sources, including attendance at refractive sessions of major meetings, literature searches, in-person interviews with ...

Corneal light scattering following excimer laser surgery
Introduction Increased corneal scattering is assumed to be a considerable side-effectof refractive surgery due to the postoperative healing response after photoablativesurface treatments. Clinically, corneal scattering is associated with haze development.

Six-year experience with excimer laser surgery for primary keratoconus in Russia.
Journal of refractive surgery, 2003PURPOSE To report our results using PRK combined with PTK to treat keratoconus. METHODS Forty-one patients (70 eyes) underwent PRK+PTK with a Nidek EC-5000 excimer laser. PRK included spherical or cylindrical ablations, or both.

0.308 μm Excimer Laser for Arthroscopic Laser Surgery
1995Excimer lasers have found applications in many diverse fields over the years. Their use in the medical profession includes angioplasty, photorefractive surgery, and orthopaedics. Some nonmedical uses include photolithography, atmospheric sensing, pumping dye lasers, micromachining, and stimulating various photochemical reactions.

Is There a Future for the Excimer-Laser in Refractive Corneal Surgery?
European Journal of Implant and Refractive Surgery, 1990Recent research in the field of high-power ultraviolet laser light has stimulated great expectations for its use in refractive surgery, as it has been shown that the cornea can be ablated in the micron-range with great precision, leaving a surface that allows for rapid epithelial healing.
