Pain management after photorefractive keratectomy

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2019
To evaluate the effect of a bandage contact lens soaked in ketorolac ophthalmic 0.45% solution (Acuvail) on pain modulation in patients having transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).Prospective case series.Narayana Nethralaya Superspeciality Eye Hospital, Bangalore, India.Eyes of patients were divided into 2 groups. After transepithelial PRK,

Corneal Sensitivity After Photorefractive Keratectomy

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1992
Corneal anesthesia or hypesthesia can complicate refractive surgical procedures such as epikeratophakia and radial keratotomy. An esthesiometer was used to measure the corneal sensitivity in unoperated-on corneas and fellow corneas after excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy. Decrease in corneal sensitivity was noted within six postoperative weeks,

Photorefractive Keratectomy Retreatment After LASIK

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 2008
Purpose To study the results of late photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in corneas originally subjected to LASIK. Methods Seven eyes of seven patients who had LASIK for myopia were retreated with PRK at least 2 years after LASIK.

Excimer Photorefractive Keratectomy for Myopia

Ophthalmology, 1993
To study the safety, effectiveness, predictability, and stability of excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in 133 normally sighted eyes.An excimer laser was used with a fluence of 160 mJ/cm2 at a frequency of 5 Hz and an ablation zone of 5.0 mm.

Recurrent Erosion After Photorefractive Keratectomy

Cornea, 1996
Recurrent erosion of the corneal epithelium has been treated successfully by phototherapeutic keratectomy when convention therapy has failed. We present a case of recurrent corneal erosion occurring 1 year after photorefractive keratectomy in a 55-year-old myopic woman.

Zonal Photorefractive Keratectomy for Presbyopia

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1998
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: We performed zonal excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy in three eyes of three presbyopic patients using a specially designed mask, with a minimum follow-up of 24 months. METHODS: Two females (ages 59 and 48) and one male (age 55) were included in the study.

Acanthamoeba keratitis after photorefractive keratectomy

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2002
A 37-year-old women developed severe suppurative keratitis immediately after having photorefractive keratectomy in her left eye. The keratitis was unresponsive to intensive topical antibiotic agents and topical and systemic steroids. Although the differential diagnosis included nonmicrobial and fungal keratitis, the clinical course and confocal ...

Surface Morphology Following Photorefractive Keratectomy

Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 1993
ABSTRACT To examine the effects of surface dehydration on corneal surface morphology before and after photorefractive keratectomy, corneas of fresh porcine eyes were deeprthelialized and then immediately fixed or treated according to one of six protocols (four eyes per protocol): dehydrated under the illumination of an operating microscope ...

Photorefractive keratectomy after radial keratotomy

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1994
We report the results of a prospective study that evaluated the efficacy, predictability, and safety of excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) to correct residual myopia after radial keratotomy (RK). Using a 193 nm excimer laser, we performed PRK on ten undercorrected myopic eyes that had previous RK surgery.

Corneal ectasia after photorefractive keratectomy

Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2006
Corneal ectasia after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) has only been occasionally reported, and its incidence has not been assessed.In a retrospective, non-comparative case series, incidence of corneal ectasia was evaluated in a personal consecutive 6453-case series of myopic PRK with a minimum follow-up of 18 months.
