Treatment of Corneal Diseases or Refractive Errors with Laser Processing

laser in situ keratomileusis for the treatment of refractive errors in patients with multiple sclerosis

purpose : to assess the outcomes of laser in situ keratomileusis (lasik) in patients with multiple sclerosis (ms) methods : 15 eyes of 8 patients with ms (2 men and 6 women) who referred for myopia treatment (with or without astigmatism) were undergone lasik. after refractive and visual acuity examinations, topographic and pachymetry screening, intraocular pressure (iop) measurement, biomicrosc...

Corneal or lens refractive surgery?

E xcimer lasers are used today practically all over the world to treat refractive errors. This provides us with a wealth of data and findings that must be analyzed, presented, interpreted, and discussed. One major finding is already certain: the absolute and indisputable necessity of refractive surgery. Even those who are skeptical about refrac-tive surgery must accept this. Patients simply do ...

Laser eye surgery for refractive errors.

Several laser and non-laser refractive surgical procedures have been used to modify the shape of the cornea and correct myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Introduction of the excimer laser to reshape the cornea has resulted in remarkable developments in the correction of these refractive errors. Combined with other advanced ophthalmological instruments, laser refractive eye surgery...

Survival analysis of re-treatment after laser refractive corneal surgery in patients with myopia.

A standardized classification of corneal topography after laser refractive surgery.

ith the expanding literature and discourse at professional meetings regarding the influence of corneal topography on outcomes following laser refractive surgery, the need for a universal, standardized classification system has become increasingly apparent. We have previously reported a seven-category topography classification schema for eyes following excimer laser pho-torefractive keratectomy ...
