Clinical Results of Keratophakia and Keratomileusis

Ophthalmology, 1981
Thirteen keratophakia patients were followed for 13 to 35 months. Eighteen cases of hyperopic keratomileusis or hyperopic keratomileusis using preserved corneal tissue were followed for 2 to 30 months. All 13 patients who underwent keratophakia achieved 20/50 or better acuity.

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 -

Keratomileusis for Myopia and Aphakia

Ophthalmology, 1981
Abstract The main points of the surgical technique are described briefly. The results of keratomileusis for the correction of myopia and aphakia are analyzed, comparing them, along with the accidents and complications of the first series, with those of the last series. The present indications and limitations of the procedure are pointed out.

Results of Myopic Keratomileusis

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1987
ABSTRACT: The results of 77 consecutive cases of myopic keratomileusis are presented and analyzed. The study shows the variations in parameters that may influence the final correction, both preoperative^ (age, corneal thickness, etc.) and postoperatively (diameter and thickness of the disc resected, optical zone, etc.).

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.

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

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.

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

LASEK (laser subepithelial keratomileusis)

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2002
Laser subepithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) is a relatively new refractive surgical technique that purportedly combines the advantages of laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). Like LASIK, on the one hand, it employs a "flap" and consequently has the advantages of faster visual recovery, less postoperative pain ...
