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).

Butterfly Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis for Myopia

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 2002
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: Decreased epithelial viability is a postoperative complication of standard laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) that hampers rapid recovery, and causes reduced visual acuity as well as discomfort. We present a new LASEK technique that, by increasing epithelial viability, reduces the occurrence of these complications.

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

Myopic Keratomileusis by Excimer Laser on a Lathe

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1994
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: We designed an excimer laser keratomileusis delivery system to increase the regularity of the refractive cut surface and allow greater precision in the level and shape of the ablated zone. METHODS: A parallel faced corneal disc was produced by microkeratectomy from six human eyes and surgical keratectomy in 12 ...

Laser in situ Keratomileusis vs. Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis (LASIK vs. LASEK)

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 2001
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To compare results of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) for the treatment of myopia. METHODS: Two groups of fifteen patients (30 eyes) each were assigned to either the LASLK group or the LASEK group.

Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis for Myopia

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 2003
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To describe a new technique for excimer laser corneal surgery: laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK). METHODS: We report 76 eyes with spherical equivalent refractive myopia ranging from -8.00 to -22.00 D (mean -11.00 ± 3.00 D).

Excimer Laser in Situ Keratomileusis

Seminars in Ophthalmology, 1996
Excimer laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is the most recent evolution of the family of lamellar refractive surgery, which includes keratophakia, freeze myopic keratomileusis, epikeratoplasty, keratomileusis in situ, and Buratto-style excimer laser keratomileusis.

Homoplastic Keratomileusis for the Correction of Myopia

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1985
ABSTRACT: The authors performed primary homoplastic myopic keratomileusis (MKM) on ten eyes with a minimal followup of three months. The mean preoperative refractive error was -15.13 diopters, Postoperatively, the mean myopia was -0.89 diopter. The surgical accuracy was 93% ± 8.6% with a correlation coefficient of 0.98.

Effect of laser in situ keratomileusis on accommodation

Journal of Huazhong University of Science and Technology [Medical Sciences], 2008
The accommodative function before and after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) was observed, and the effect of LASIk on accommodation was investigated. In a prospective clinical trial, 48 myopic patients (96 eyes) subject to bilateral LASIK in Refractive Surgery Center, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and ...
