Confocal microscopy reveals persisting stromal changes after myopic photorefractive keratectomy in zero haze corneas.
AIMS Micromorphological examination of the central cornea in myopic patients 8-43 months after excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), using the slit scanning confocal microscope. METHODS Patients were selected from a larger cohort of individuals on the basis of full corneal clarity (haze grading 0 to +1; mean 0.3) and their willingness to participate in the study. 15 eyes of 10 pati...
متن کاملCharacterization of abnormal epithelium after laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy using in vivo confocal microscopy.
This study compared the abnormal corneal epithelium after laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy (LASEK) with dystrophic cornea using in vivo using confocal microscopy (IVCM) and examined the effects of the abnormal epithelium on postoperative recovery of uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and sub-basal nerve plexus regeneration. The UDVA and wound healing were examined in 50 eyes of 2...
متن کاملCorneal ectasia after photorefractive keratectomy.
Two patients developed corneal ectasia after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). Case 1 had evidence of early keratoconus preoperatively, with manifest refractions of -4.00 +2.50 x 160 (20/20) in the right eye and -7.00 +3.00 x 180 (20/30) in the left eye; thin corneas (472 microm and 441 microm, respectively); and inferior paracentral steepening in the right eye and central steepening in the le...
متن کاملStereoacuity after photorefractive keratectomy in myopia
PURPOSE Stereopsis, as a part of visual function, is the ability of differentiating between the two eyes' views (binocular disparity), due to the eyes' different positions. The aim of this study was to compare stereoscopic vision before and after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in myopia. METHODS In a prospective interventional case series study clinical trial, forty-eight myopic individual...
متن کاملRefractive regression after photorefractive keratectomy.
To the Editor: We thank Drs. Talamo and Abad and Mr. Lim (Refractive Regression after Excimer Laser Photorefractive Keratectomy. J Refract Surg 1996;12:757[letter]) for their comments and are gratified that their findings support our hypothesis that the refractive regression after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is not a result of the thicker regrowth of connnective tissue or epithelium in th...
