Laser-Assisted Subepithelial Keratectomy (LASEK) without Alcohol versus Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK)

European Journal of Ophthalmology, 2003
Purpose To evaluate epithelial healing and visual outcome after laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy (LASEK) without alcohol de-epithelialization and to compare this technique to photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in myopia. Methods In a series of 1953 patients undergoing bilateral myopic PRK, an epithelial flap could be obtained by manual de ...

Corneal melting associated with topical diclofenac use after laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2006
We report a case of corneal melting associated with topically applied preservative-free diclofenac (Voltaren Ofta) after laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy. Keratolysis was detected on day 5; further progression toward perforation was arrested by immediate suspension of diclofenac and prescription of topical dexamethasone with 24-hour patching ...
