Laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) for myopia in patients with a thin cornea.
Background – We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and patient satisfaction of laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) for myopia in patients with thin cornea. Methods – Seventy-one eyes of 56 patients with myopia of –1.50 to –8.75 diopters (D) and corneal thickness of 451 – 499 microns were enrolled in this prospective clinical study. Slit-lamp examination, manifest refraction, uncor...
متن کاملOptical biometry before and after excimer laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) for myopia.
PURPOSE In order to select the correct intraocular lens (IOL) for implantation, it is important to measure the eye length (biometry). The IOL Master from Zeiss-Humphry is frequently used for such measurements. Because this instrument employs an optical method, any irregularities on the corneal surface or any disturbances in corneal transparency could lead to mistakes in the measurements. The ai...
متن کاملlaser sub-epithelial keratectomy vs laser in situ keratomileusis for correction of myopia
purpose: to compare long-term results of excimer laser sub-epithelial keratectomy (lasek) and laser in situ keratomileusis (lasik) for low to moderate myopia. methods: in a comparative case series, visual outcomes in 415 lasik-treated eyes (212 patients) and 359 lasek-treated eyes (194 patients) with myopia ranging from -1.5 to -5 diopters (d) and astigmatism up to -2.75 d using a flying spot e...
متن کاملComparison of corneal nerve regeneration and sensitivity between LASIK and laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK).
PURPOSE To compare changes in corneal nerve fibers and keratocyte density by confocal microscopy after laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK). DESIGN Prospective, nonrandomized comparative clinical trial. METHODS Fifty-six eyes of 28 patients who underwent LASIK and 52 eyes of 26 patients who underwent LASEK were included. Confocal microsco...
متن کاملComparison of laser epithelial keratomileusis and photorefractive keratectomy for the correction of myopia: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether a laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) has any significant advantage over a photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for correcting myopia. We undertook this meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to examine possible differences in efficacy, accuracy, safety and side-effects between two methods, LASEK and PRK, for correcting myopia. METHODS A systematic lit...
