Long-Term Outcomes of Radial Keratotomy, Laser In Situ Keratomileusis, and Astigmatic Keratotomy Performed Consecutively over a Period of 21 Years
UNLABELLED Purpose. To describe a case of 3 refractive procedures performed in one eye over 2 decades. Methods. CASE REPORT Results. A 41-year-old patient presented for refractive surgery evaluation. His ocular history includes bilateral radial keratotomy performed 21 years ago for moderate myopia: spherical equivalence of -4.25 D bilaterally. Postoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) wa...
متن کاملLaser in situ Keratomileusis for Overcorrection After Radial Keratotomy.
PURPOSE To evaluate laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for induced hyperopia after radial keratotomy. METHODS Twenty eyes had LASEK for induced hyperopia after radial keratotomy. All eyes were treated using the Nidek excimer laser (EC-5000) and the Hansatome microkeratome with a 905-mm ring and 180-mm plate. Hyperopic correction was done using a 5.5 to 7.5-mm ablation zone. RESULTS Mean p...
متن کاملThe refractive changes and long-term (3 years) results of radial keratotomy performed at high altitude.
PURPOSE To evaluate the development of regression or progression following radial keratotomy (RK) performed at high altitude (1,720 meters) at long-term follow-up (3 years). METHODS Thirty-nine eyes of 21 myopia patients (between -3.25 D and -11.00 D) whose ages were 19-32 years were included in the study. The RK procedures were performed in standard Russian style. RESULTS The average spher...
متن کاملFemtosecond laser-assisted astigmatic keratotomy: a review
Background Astigmatic keratotomy (AK) remains an accessible means to correct surgically induced or naturally occurring astigmatism. The advantages of femtosecond laser-assisted astigmatic keratotomy (FSAK) over conventional methods have been recognized recently. Main text This review evaluates the efficacy, complications, and different methods of FSAK for correction of astigmatism in native e...
متن کاملFemtosecond - Assisted Astigmatic Keratotomy
T he treatment of moderate to high astigmatism is challenging for the refractive surgeon. Even in experienced hands, 40% of patients who undergo penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) are left with more than 4.00 D of astigmatism.1 Spectacles, contact lenses, excimer laser ablation, toric IOLs, and tissue-relaxing procedures have been used for a long time in the treatment of preexisting and postsurgica...
