Optimized refractive surgery in keratoconus

Visual and Refractive Results of Cataract Surgery by Phacoemulsification Method in Patients with Keratoconus

Purpose: To examine the visual and refractive results of cataract surgery by phacoemulsification method in patients with keratoconus. Methods: In this retrospective study, the files of patients with keratoconus, who underwent phacoemulsification between 2008 and 2017, were evaluated. The intraocular lens power calculation formula was SRK/T. Post-operative visual and refractive results were anal...

graft refractive surgery for post-dalk atigmatism in keratoconus

purpose: evaluate the effect of relaxing incision and adjustment sutures to correct astigmatism after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (dalk) in patients with keratoconus. materials and methods: this interventional case series included keratoconic eyes undergoing graft refractive surgery (grs) for intolerable post-dalk astigmatism. the technique of graft refractive surgery for the 5 initial ...

Optimized Profiles for Astigmatic Refractive Surgery

Experimental evaluation of optimized ablation patterns for laser refractive surgery.

A new experimental model based on plastic (Filofocon A) artificial eyes was used to study the ablation profiles and the outcomes of three state-of-the-art refractive surgery excimer lasers provided with narrow-beam flying spot and optimized algorithms (Ladarvision 4000, Alcon; Technolas 217 Z100, Bausch and Lomb; Allegretto wave Eye-Q, Wavelight). The 3-D ablation patterns produced by myopic la...

Wavefront-optimized surface retreatments of refractive error following previous laser refractive surgery: a retrospective study.

BACKGROUND Retreatments are sometimes necessary to correct residual or induced refractive errors following refractive surgery. Many different combinations of primary treatment methods and retreatment techniques have been studied, however, few studies have investigated wavefront-optimized (WFO) technology for retreatment following primary refractive surgery. This study aimed to report the outcom...
