Suitability of Filofocon A and PMMA for experimental models in excimer laser ablation refractive surgery.
Experimental corneal models in plastic (in PMMA, and more recently in Filofocon A, a contact lens material) have been proposed recently to overcome some of the limitations of the theoretical approaches aiming at improving the predictability of corneal reshaping by laser ablation. These models have also been proposed for accurate assessment of corneal laser ablation patterns. In this study Filof...
متن کاملExperimental 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...
متن کاملinfectious keratitis following excimer laser refractive surgery
infectious keratitis occurs rarely after laser refractive surgery, however the high volume of these procedures and young patient age render the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of this complication of utmost importance. early onset infectious keratitis is usually caused by gram positive bacteria while late onset cases are due to other microorganisms such as atypical mycobacteria, nocardia as...
متن کاملResults of topography-guided laser in situ keratomileusis custom ablation treatment with a refractive excimer laser.
PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of topography-guided custom ablation treatment (T-CAT) to correct myopia and myopic astigmatism with laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). SETTING Nine clinical sites in the USA. DESIGN Prospective observational nonrandomized unmasked study. METHODS The study comprised patients aged 18 to 65 years old with myopia or myopic astigmatism with ...
