Optical side-effects of fs-laser treatment in refractive surgery investigated by means of a model eye

چکیده
Optical side-effects of fs-laser treatment in refractive surgery are investigated by means of a model eye. We show that rainbow glare is the predominant perturbation, which can be avoided by randomly distributing laser spots within the lens. For corneal applications such as fs-LASIK, even a regular grid with spot-to-spot distances of ~3 µm is sufficient to minimize rainbow glare perception. Contrast sensitivity is affected, when the lens is treated with large 3D-patterns.

متن کاملStudy of Optical Models Regarding the Human Eye
Introduction: Until now, many models have been presented for optical study of the human eye. In recent years, surgery on the anterior section of the eye (such as cataract and photo-refractive surgery) has increased, so a study on the optics of the eye and evaluation of vision quality has become more important. Material and Methods: In this article, some of these models are considered. They incl...

PURPOSE To report a case of rainbow glare following femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK (femto-LASIK) with the Wavelight FS-200 femtosecond laser (Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX). METHODS A patient was treated bilaterally for myopia with femto-LASIK using the FS-200 femtosecond laser. Postoperatively, he complained of rainbow glare in his right eye. RESULTS Three months postoperative...
متن کاملRefractive Surgery Feature Story
H uman eyes are capable of six types of movement: x/y lateral shifts, z levelling, horizontal and vertical rotations, and cyclotorsion (rotation around the optical axis). Current laser technology for refractive surgery creates corneal alterations to correct refractive errors more accurately than in the past.1 Ablation profiles are based on the removal of tissue lenticules through sequential las...
