Management of Astigmatism with the LENSAR Laser System with Streamline
نویسنده
چکیده
M anagement of astigmatism at the time of cataract or refractive lens surgery has evolved to include arcuate keratotomy and toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Integration of preoperative corneal diagnostic instrumentation via Streamline digital wireless connectivity to the LENSARTM femtosecond laser (LENSAR Inc., Orlando, FL, US) now allows improved precision and accuracy of arcuate incision and toric IOL alignment, eliminating a significant source of error in astigmatism correction. Use of a pre-programmed, surgeondefined nomogram for arcuate incision construction, based on transmitted data from preoperative corneal analysis, permits further efficiency and reduction of transcription error. Toric IOL alignment is currently facilitated with IntelliAxisTM (LENSAR Inc., Orlando, FL, US) corneal marks. Management of astigmatism at the time of cataract surgery provides the refractive benefit of reduced dependence on glasses and sets the stage for correction of presbyopia

Introduction & Objective: This study was performed to compare the visual and refractive outcomes of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in eyes with medium-high astigmatism by WF-guided method using Visx system and cross-cylinder method using Nidek EC-5000 excimer laser system.?Although there are many studies about efficacy and safety of Wave front guided and Cross Cylinder Photorefractive Kera...
متن کاملThe Use of Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Capsulotomy Is Challenging in Patients With Phacomorphic Glaucoma.
To the Editor: Acute phacomorphic glaucoma occurs secondarily to an increased anteroposterior lens thickness that narrows the iridocorneal angle. Optic neuropathy is preventable with early recognition and treatment of the disease, but a sudden rise in intraocular pressure (IOP) can lead to irreversible visual loss in the affected eye.1-3 We evaluated the efficacy of femtosecond laser–assisted c...
متن کاملA posteriori $ L^2(L^2)$-error estimates with the new version of streamline diffusion method for the wave equation
In this article, we study the new streamline diffusion finite element for treating the linear second order hyperbolic initial-boundary value problem. We prove a posteriori $ L^2(L^2)$ and error estimates for this method under minimal regularity hypothesis. Test problem of an application of the wave equation in the laser is presented to verify the efficiency and accuracy of the method.
متن کاملRefractive Error and Anterior Segment Parametric Changes in Patients with Posterior Capsular Opacification after Nd: YAG Laser Posterior Capsulotomy
Background and Objective: Cataract is one of the most common causes of blindness in the world, and posterior capsular opacification (PCO) is the most common complication after cataract surgery. Nd: YAG laser posterior capsulotomy is a standard method for the treatment of PCO. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Yas laser capsulotomy on anterior segment parameters and lenticu...
