Myopic Keratomileusis

Cornea, 1982
ABSTRACT Homoplastic myopic keratomileusis was performed on a female patient with high myopia. The lenticule was removed due to postoperative complications. Histopathological examination revealed an abnormal corneal epithelium and numerous defects in Bowman's membrane.

Laser in situ keratomileusis for hyperopia

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1998
To evaluate the results of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) to treat hyperopia.Instituto de la Vision, Buenos Aires, Argentina.This nonrandomized study comprised 679 eyes of 321 patients having LASIK. Patients were divided into three groups based on preoperative spherical equivalent: Group A (low hyperopia, 2.00 diopters [D] or less); Group B ...

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.

Prospective Evaluation of Myopic Keratomileusis

Ophthalmology, 1984
The initial results of a prospective evaluation of myopic keratomileusis are reported. The procedure was attempted on 42 eyes, with an average follow-up of 10 months. The average reductions of myopia were 7.05 D and 11.59 D when measured by keratometry and refraction, respectively.

Automated In situ Keratomileusis for Myopia

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1995
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: In situ keratomileusis is a rapidly changing refractive corneal surgical procedure for the correction of myopia. We report here the results of a retrospective study of in situ keratomileusis with the refractive cut made with a microkeratome. The technique represents an intermediate stage of development that used a sutured

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 -

[Corneal reinnervation after keratomileusis in situ and keratomileusis myopica--a comparison].

Klinische Monatsblatter fur Augenheilkunde, 1995
In a retrospective study corneal sensitivity after keratomileusis in situ and keratomileusis myopica was measured.5 points on the cornea were measured with the Draeger aesthesiometer at 18 eyes after keratomileusis myopica and at 66 eyes after keratomileusis in situ.The ingrowth of corneal nerve fibres is delayed after keratomileusis myopica compared ...

Myopic keratomileusis: Initial results and myopic keratomileusis combined with other procedures

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1987
Myopic keratomileusis (MKM) was performed on 58 eyes to correct for moderate to severe myopia. This represents the first consecutive 58 cases I performed. Average follow-up was 11.6 months, with the shortest time being three months. Average preoperative myopia was -11.16 diopters (D) with a range of -5.50 D to -21.62 D. Average postoperative myopia was

Laser in situ keratomileusis technique

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2000
The collective surgical experience of laser in situ keratomileusis continues to grow. It is apparent that surgical technique can greatly improve visual outcomes, prevent complications, and aid in the management of intraoperative surgical complications.
