Circular keratotomy to reduce astigmatism and improve vision in stage I and II keratoconus.
PURPOSE To report the use of circular keratotomy in eyes with stage I and II keratoconus to reduce astigmatism. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed of all eyes operated from 1993 to 2006 by one surgeon using circular keratotomy for stage I and II keratoconus. Results were evaluated for reduction of corneal astigmatism, refractive stability, and change in best spectacle-corrected vi...

متن کاملCorrection of high astigmatism using LASIK and arcuate keratotomy
We describe the case of a 47-year-old man who came to our center to be assessed for refractive surgery in 2007. The initial scan (instillation of 3 drops of cyclopentolate 1%) revealed a corrected distance visual acuity of 20/60 with +0.50 –9.50 × 10° in OD and 20/60 with +1.25 –9.50 × 165° in OS. We performed laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in both eyes using a bicylindrical approach afte...
متن کاملAsymmetric radial keratotomy for the correction of keratoconus.
We have had 10 years of successful experience with asymmetric radial keratotomy in keratoconus, designed to flatten the steeper central and paracentral areas of the cornea. We think the procedure is the treatment of choice for types I, II, and selected cases of type III keratoconus. The procedure does not adversely affect the results of subsequent surgery such as aphakic epikeratoplasty, cornea...
