1118 Eximer laser treatment for compound myopia and astigmatism

Laser intrastromal keratomileusis for high myopia and myopic astigmatism.

BACKGROUND Laser intrastromal keratomileusis (LASIK) is an evolving technique which enables high degrees of myopia (> 8.0 dioptres) and myopic astigmatism to be corrected. This paper describes initial experience with this procedure. It also details the methodology, the results, the problems encountered, and discusses retreatment procedures. METHODS 51 eyes (48 primary cases and three retreatm...

Laser in situ keratomileusis retreatment for residual myopia and astigmatism.

PURPOSE To evaluate the visual and refractive results of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) retreatment on eyes with residual myopia with or without astigmatism. METHODS LASIK retreatment was performed on 35 eyes of 23 patients for correction of residual myopia, with or without astigmatism, with a mean manifest spherical equivalent refraction of -2.17+/-0.82 D (range, -1.00 to -3.87 D) and ...

Corneal irregular astigmatism after laser in situ keratomileusis for myopia.

AIMS To quantitatively evaluate the changes in corneal irregular astigmatism after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in relation to the amount of laser ablation. METHODS In 189 eyes of 116 patients undergoing LASIK for myopia, corneal topography was obtained before and 1 month after surgery. Using Fourier harmonic analysis of the topography data, corneal irregular astigmatism (asymmetry an...

lasik retreatment for myopia and myopic astigmatism

purpose: to evaluate the results of laser in situ keratomileusis (lasik) retreatment in  patients with postoperative regression. methods: in a retrospective interventional case series, 153 eyes of 113 patients who had undergone lasik retreatment for postoperative regression were evaluated. both initial lasik and retreatment were performed with a nidek: ec 5000 excimer laser, and flap was made w...
