Scleral Lens–Induced Corneal Edema After Radial Keratotomy

چکیده
This case series examines the magnitude and regional variation in scleral lens–induced corneal edema postradial keratotomy (RK) eyes. Scheimpflug imaging was used to measure thickness across central 6 mm before after lens wear nine post-RK eyes (median age 64 years). Variations were examined as a function of distance from center (six 0.5-mm annuli) 0° 360°. The median 2.19% (interquartile range 1.03%–3.18%; P=0.02) increased variability further cornea (from 1.30% 0–0.5 3.12% 2.5–3.0 midperiphery) (P=0.02). Scleral greater at approximate location incisions.

Flap management during LASIK after radial keratotomy.
To the Editor: Radial keratotomy (RK) can be effective in reducing low to moderate amounts of myopia. Occasionally, a patient will “under-respond” to the RK procedure and be left with significant residual myopia. The refractive surgeon may then be presented with a situation where the patient desires more myopic reduction, but the surgeon does not want to perform another RK (for fear of inducing...
متن کاملPhotorefractive keratectomy for hyperopia after radial keratotomy.
BACKGROUND Progressive hyperopia is a common complication following radial keratotomy. METHODS Ten eyes of ten consecutive patients with hyperopia after radial keratotomy between +1.75 and +4.00 diopters (D) were treated with the hyperopia module of the Nidek Model EC-5000 excimer laser. The mean preoperative uncorrected visual acuity was 0.38 (20/60+). RESULTS After excimer laser photorefr...

BACKGROUND Corticosteroids seem to affect the functions of corneal endothelial cells directly in addition to their anti-inflammatory effect. CASE A 69-year-old man presented with blurred vision in his left eye and decreased visual acuity in both eyes. He had received anterior-posterior radial keratotomy for myopia in both eyes 40 years earlier. OBSERVATIONS Both eyes showed mild corneal str...
متن کاملHistopathology of radial keratotomy.
Report of a Case. A 39-year-old man with a history of RK performed elsewhere 8 years prior had complaints of decreased vision in both eyes. The patient’s preoperative refraction was –9.25 OD and –9.50 OS. According to the patient, the initial surgery was uncomplicated, although both eyes required enhancements. Cycloplegic refraction in our office was –3.50 +0.50 70 OD and –13.50 +1.00 100 OS, g...

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...
