Survey of Ophthalmology, 2020
Phototherapeutic keratectomy is an excimer laser-based surgical procedure widely performed by corneal surgeons for treating anterior corneal stromal pathologies. Phototherapeutic keratectomy helps by ablating the corneal stroma, thereby improving corneal clarity and smoothening the surface.

Phototherapeutic Keratectomy in the Treatment of Avellino Dystrophy
Ophthalmologica, 2010 Avellino corneal dystrophy has rarely been reported in literature. It consists of a combination of granular and lattice dystrophy. Patients may complain of glare and decreased night vision with or without decreased visual acuity, depending on the degree of corneal involvement. Current treatment for this dystrophy includes bandage contact lenses for the

Excimer Laser Phototherapeutic Keratectomy
Ocular Surface, 2006Anterior corneal pathology, such as corneal scars and corneal stromal dystrophies, can be visually devastating. Over the past decade, there was a shift in treatment of these conditions from corneal transplantation to phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) using the 193 nm excimer laser for visual restoration.

Excimer Laser Phototherapeutic Keratectomy
International Ophthalmology Clinics, 1996Excimer laser phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) is an important tool in the management of superficial corneal pathology. It works well in the treatment of anterior corneal dystrophies and degenerations, but we are learning that it may have a role in the treatment of certain patients with deeper corneal pathology. Indications also are being expanded to

AORN Journal, 1997
ABSTRACTThe US Food and Drug Administration recently approved the 193‐nm excimer laser for the treatment of superficial corneal pathology and surface irregularities—a procedure called phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK). Indications for PTK include corneal dystrophies, degenerations, and scars that impair corneal transparency, thus compromising visual ...

Phototherapeutic Keratectomy in Children
Journal of Refractive Surgery, 2007Purpose: Children with dense superficial opacities of the cornea are at risk for developing amblyopia. This study evaluated the efficacy of phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) in severe cases of anterior stromal scarring.

Update on phototherapeutic keratectomy
Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2009To review all recent publications on the use of phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK).Recent studies confirm the beneficial outcomes of PTK in a variety of anterior corneal disorder: anterior stromal scars, dystrophies of the corneal epithelium and the anterior stroma, and elevated corneal lesions. They also try to evaluate the biomechanical properties of

Phototherapeutic Keratectomy in Treating Keratomycosis
Cornea, 2005To evaluate the efficacy of using phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) in the treatment of superficial keratomycosis.We studied 9 patients with superficial keratomycosis that had infiltrated less than half of the corneal thickness and responded poorly to topical antifungal therapy.
