Laser in situ keratomileusis

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 1990
AbstractA new laser refractive procedure is being developed in a rabbit model. With a modified microkeratome, central corneal flaps were created. An ArF excimer laser was used to produce 3‐mm‐diameter circular ablations on the central part of the exposed stromal bed.

Laser in situ Keratomileusis for Hyperopia

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1997
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To study the efficacy of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for hyperopia. METHODS: We performed LASIK on 21 eyes using the Nidek EC-5000 excimer laser with software version 2.18 AH. The Chiron Automated Corneal Shaper was used to create the flap.

Excimer Laser In Situ Keratomileusis

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1995
ABSTRACT We have been using a 193-nm excimer laser under protocol to ablate the corneal stromal bed after creating a hinged corneal flap with a microkeratome in order to reduce or eliminate refractive error. Thirty-one consecutive eyes are reviewed with a preoperative mean spherical equivalent refraction of -6.25 diopters (D) (range -3.50 to -

The Picosecond Laser for Nonmechanical Laser in situ Keratomileusis

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1998
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To introduce the clinical use of the Nd:YLF picosecond laser as a nonmechanical microkeratome. METHODS: A commercially available Nd:YLF picosecond laser (25 µJ/pulse, 30 psec, 1053 nm) was used to deliver intrastromal pulses of focused high power laser light to generate a flap for laser in situ keratomileusis ...

Results of pediatric laser in situ keratomileusis

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2000
To evaluate the results of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for uniocular high myopia in pediatric eyes.Dr. Agarwal's Eye Hospital, Chennai (Madras), India.Sixteen eyes that were treated by LASIK for uniocular high myopia were retrospectively analyzed. The mean patient age was 8.4 years +/- 1.83 (SD) (range 5 to 11 years).

Laser in situ keratomileusis monovision

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2001
To evaluate the outcome of monovision after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).Private practice, Little Silver, New Jersey, USA.In this retrospective study, 432 consecutive patients (864 eyes) who had LASIK between January 1998 and October 1999 with a follow-up of 6 to 28 months were examined. All patients older than 40 years were asked to complete a

Postoperative complications in laser in situ keratomileusis

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2000
Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) has become the most common procedure to correct refractive errors in North America. Increasing numbers of patients and surgeons are choosing LASIK in the management of low and moderate myopia, astigmatism, and hyperopia. LASIK presents a unique group of postoperative challenges and complications.
