Excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy for high myopia.
One hundred and thirty-three eyes of 103 patients had photorefractive keratectomy with a slit scan mode excimer laser for myopia ranging from -6.00 to -22.00 diopters (D). The epithelium was removed with 20% ethanol, and the ablation was done with a tapered profile surrounding the optical zone. Patients were divided into two groups based on preoperative myopia: Group A, -6.00 D to -12.00 D (88 ...
متن کاملVisual performance after excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy for high myopia
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy, safety, predictability, and visual performance of excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for myopia greater than -8 diopters (D). METHODS Fifty-four patients (104 eyes) with myopia from -8D to -13D and cylinder up to -4D received surface ablation technique with the Allegretto wave version 1009-1 excimer laser to correct their refractive error. The pa...
متن کاملEye dominance in excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy.
human species and is relevant in clinical practice—to excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in particular. Due to the complexity of the underlying physiological mechanisms, there is no single definition that applies to all aspects of ocular dominance. Nevertheless, a clinically useful definition would be, “The dominant eye is the eye that is preferred in monocular viewing or in pointi...
متن کاملExcimer laser photorefractive keratectomy for hyperopia.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) has been extensively evaluated for the correction of myopia. This study was undertaken to assess the safety, efficacy, and reliability of PRK in the correction of hyperopia. PATIENTS AND METHODS There were 28 eyes with refractions of +1 to +7.75 D treated for hyperopia with the Chiron Technolas 217-C excimer laser. Thorough visual ass...
متن کاملEffects of optimized photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) operation on the asphericity and high-order aberration changes
Background: Optimized is a common and important method in which aberrations are created by the device and the surgeon, but high-grade aberrations are out of the surgeon's control and are induced by the device in the patient. The aim of this study was the evaluation of out-of-control high-order aberration changes before and after PRK surgery and these impact on vision outcome. Materials and meth...
