Air assisted lamellar keratectomy for the corneal haze model
To standardize the corneal haze model in the resection depth and size for efficient corneal haze development, air assisted lamellar keratectomy was performed. The ex vivo porcine corneas were categorized into four groups depending on the trephined depth: 250 µm (G1), 375 µm (G2), 500 µm(G3) and 750 µm (G4). The stroma was equally ablated at the five measurement sites in all groups. Significant ...
متن کاملCorneal cooling and rehydration during photorefractive keratectomy to reduce postoperative corneal haze.
PURPOSE An increase in corneal temperature has been implicated in subepithelial haze after surface photorefractive keratectomy. We aimed to determine if cooling the cornea by means of hydration between ablations and immediately after final surface ablation in PRK reduces haze. METHODS One hundred five eyes of 61 patients with myopia ranging from -6.00 to -9.75 D were included. One of the surg...
متن کاملCorneal epithelial recovery following photorefractive keratectomy.
AIMS To further understand the morphological and functional recovery of corneal epithelium following excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). METHODS The right eyes (group 1) of 15 male, New Zealand white rabbits weighing 2-3 kg underwent PRK. The left eye of each rabbit (group 2) underwent simple mechanical de-epithelialisation and were examined as treated controls. Both eyes of anot...
متن کاملPosterior linear stromal haze formation after simultaneous photorefractive keratectomy followed by corneal collagen cross-linking.
PURPOSE To report the development of posterior linear stromal haze after simultaneous photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) followed by corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL). METHODS Combined simultaneous customized PRK followed by corneal collagen cross-linking was performed in 23 patients (28 eyes) with keratoconus. Corneas were examined biomicroscopically and by means of confocal microscopy bef...
متن کاملInfluence of patient age on refraction and corneal haze after photorefractive keratectomy.
AIMS/BACKGROUND Since wound healing processes are known to be more rapid in those who are young, it was decided to examine the effect of patient age on refractive outcome of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). METHODS The records of 599 eyes that had undergone PRK were studied retrospectively. The eyes were categorised by baseline myopia and patient age. Spherical equivalent and corneal haze w...
