AIM To study the efficacy of phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) for pain relief for patients with painful bullous keratopathy and poor visual potential. METHODS Patients with painful bullous keratopathy and poor visual potential were treated with superficial PTK (8-25 microm), intermediate (50-100 microm) or deep PTK (25% stromal thickness) using the Nidek EC5000 excimer laser after manual ep...
متن کاملNew Treatment for Band Keratopathy: Superficial Lamellar Keratectomy, EDTA Chelation and Amniotic Membrane Transplantation
We report two cases of band keratopathy who were treated with thick amniotic membrane that contained a basement membrane structure as a graft, after ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid chelation with trephination and blunt superficial lamellar keratectomy in the anterior stroma. In each case, basement membrane was destroyed and calcium plaque invaded into anterior stroma beneath Bowman's membrane. ...
