Laser in situ Keratomileusis for Myopia

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1998
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for myopia. METHODS: We performed LASIK on 55 eyes using the Nidek EC-5000 excimer laser. We altered the PRK algorithms to make them appropriate for LASIK. The Chiron automated corneal shaper was used to create the flap. RESULTS: A high rate

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.

Excimer Laser in situ Keratomileusis for Myopia

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1997
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and predictability of excimer laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for the correction of myopia. METHODS: Forty-six consecutive eyes that had LASIK with the VISX 20/20B laser and Chiron corneal shaper were evaluated. Mean spherical equivalent of the preoperative manifest refraction

Autorefractometry after laser in situ keratomileusis

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2003
To correlate cycloplegic subjective refraction with cycloplegic autorefractometry in eyes that have had laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).Vlemma Eye Institute, Athens, Greece.Subjective refraction and autorefractometry under cycloplegia were performed in 73 eyes of 46 patients 1, 6, and 12 months after LASIK to correct myopia or myopic astigmatism ...

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 ...

Laser in situ Keratomileusis Interface Deposits

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1998
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: A clinical investigation was undertaken to determine the origin of a brown interface deposit that developed in 15 eyes after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASEK). METHODS: The LASBK procedure was evaluated and agents that were thought to be related to these brown deposits in the interface were eliminated ...

Laser in situ Keratomileusis for Anisometropic Amblyopia

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 2000
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy and benefit of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for correction of anisometropic amblyopia. METHODS: LASER was performed in 21 eyes of 21 anisometropic amblyopes with a mean age of 27.71 ± 12.24 years. Three patients were less than 18 years of age.
