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).

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, 1995
ABSTRACT Excimer laser in situ keratomileusis was done in 97 eyes of 59 patients to correct moderate and high myopia. Mean follow-up was 150 days. Mean preoperative myopia was -10.75 diopters (D). Mean reduction in myopia was -11.281D (106.98%) at 1 month and -10.37 D (98.417%) at 3 months.

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 ...
