Choroidal neovascularization following photorefractive keratectomy
PURPOSE To describe a case of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) following photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) to correct myopia. METHODS We performed PRK in both eyes of a 20-year-old girl to correct myopia. Refractive error was -4.75 -2.25 × 5 in the right eye and -5.00 -1.25 × 180 in the left eye. Metamorphopsia was noticed by the patient in the right eye one month after the surgical procedu...
متن کاملOrthoptic Changes following Photorefractive Keratectomy
PURPOSE To report orthoptic changes after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). METHODS This interventional case series included 297 eyes of 150 patients scheduled for PRK. Complete ophthalmologic evaluations focusing on orthoptic examinations were performed before and 3 months after PRK. RESULTS Before PRK, 2 (1.3%) patients had esotropia which remained unchanged; 3 (2%) patients had far exot...
متن کاملBilateral Macular Hole Following Myopic Photorefractive Keratectomy
A 42-year-old man was admitted to our clinic complaining of visual distortion in his left eye two months after bilateral myopic photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). Macular optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed a stage II macular hole in the left eye. Simultaneous OCT in the right eye showed vitreous traction and distortion of the outer retina. One month later, the patient underwent vitrectom...
متن کاملCorneal epithelial recovery following photorefractive keratectomy.
AIMS To further understand the morphological and functional recovery of corneal epithelium following excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). METHODS The right eyes (group 1) of 15 male, New Zealand white rabbits weighing 2-3 kg underwent PRK. The left eye of each rabbit (group 2) underwent simple mechanical de-epithelialisation and were examined as treated controls. Both eyes of anot...
متن کاملRole of epithelial hyperplasia in regression following photorefractive keratectomy.
AIM To determine the relation between epithelial hyperplasia and regression of effect after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). METHODS Seventy unilaterally treated patients with PRK were examined. All eyes had been treated with the Summit excimer laser 27 (SD 7) months previously with zone diameters of 4.1 to 5.0 mm. The untreated fellow eyes served as controls. Epithelial thickness was measu...
