Mechanical stability of microkeratome-assisted intracorneal keratoprosthesis implantation.
OBJECTIVE To develop a laboratory model to study intracorneal keratoprosthesis implantation. METHODS A combination microkeratome and artificial anterior chamber system was used to create a hinged lamellar keratectomy on 13 human corneas. After reflecting the flap, the posterior stroma was trephined at either 2.5 or 3.0 mm. A model keratoprosthesis was positioned in the bed. The flap was sutur...
متن کاملChanges in retinal nerve fiber layer thickness following mechanical microkeratome-assisted versus femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK
PURPOSE To study the influence of the transient elevation of intraocular pressure during suction in laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) on the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness both in microkeratome assisted and femotsecond (FS) LASIK. PATIENTS AND METHODS An interventional case series that included 40 eyes suffering from myopia who were candidates for LASIK. All underwent ...
متن کاملMicrokeratome-assisted anterior lamellar keratoplasty.
Microkeratome-assisted anterior lamellar keratoplasty has emerged as a surgical option for conditions affecting the clarity of the outer 200 mum of the cornea. Herein we describe the outcome of a simple procedure in which the excimer laser can be used to augment deep tissue removal after both recipient bed and donor graft are prepared with the microkeratome. Our noncomparative interventional ca...
متن کاملRefractive and aberrometric outcomes of intracorneal ring segments for keratoconus: mechanical versus femtosecond-assisted procedures.
OBJECTIVE To compare visual, refractive, and corneal aberrometric outcomes in keratoconic eyes implanted with intracorneal ring segments (ICRS) implantation using either a mechanical or a femtosecond laser-assisted procedure. DESIGN Retrospective, consecutive case series. PARTICIPANTS A total of 146 consecutive eyes of 106 patients with the diagnosis of keratoconus (68 unilateral and 39 bil...
متن کاملFemtosecond laser versus mechanical microkeratome-assisted flap creation for LASIK: a prospective, randomized, paired-eye study
PURPOSE To compare a femtosecond laser with a microkeratome for flap creation during laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in terms of flap thickness predictability and visual outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a prospective, randomized, masked, paired-eye study. Forty-four patients (34 females) who received bilateral LASIK were included. Patients were stratified by ocular dominance, and ...
