Feasibility of intraoperative corneal topography monitoring during photorefractive keratectomy.

چکیده
PURPOSE We propose a feasibility study of new corneal topography technology with the aim of monitoring intraoperative corneal topography during excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy. The PAR system measures corneal topography with single grid projection and triangulation but requires fluorescent fluid to be deposited on the corneal surface for shape extraction. We propose and demonstrate a novel corneal topography system based on structured incoherent visible light projection and triangulation that does not require addition of fluorescent fluid. METHODS We used a binary liquid crystal spatial light modulator to display multiple fringe patterns onto the cornea. The depth accuracy of the corneal topography system was measured using a white reflected test sphere mounted on a micrometer translation stage. The performance of the corneal topography system was tested on 5 de-epithelialized swine eyes in vitro ablated with a VISX excimer laser. RESULTS Depth accuracy on the test sphere was 0.5+/-0.75 microm over an area of 17.6 mm2. On de-epithelialized swine corneas, ablation at the apex of the cornea treated with an excimer laser was measured without addition of fluorescein. CONCLUSIONS This new corneal topography system achieved an adequate level of accuracy on a test sphere.

Background : Posterior corneal elevation changes are keys to early diagnosis of corneal ectasia after keratorefractive surgery, so it is important to use an accurate method for measuring posterior corneal elevation. The purpose of this study is investigating posterior corneal elevation changes with Pentacam(HR) on patients underwent photorefractive keratectomy. Methods: In this clinical tri...

PURPOSE To evaluate the long-term outcomes of two-step versus single application of mitomycin-C (MMC) during photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for high myopia. METHODS This randomized clinical trial included consecutive patients with high myopia (exceeding 7 D). Patients underwent PRK and were randomized to two methods of MMC 0.02% application as follows: in the single application group, MMC ...

Many studies have shown the effectiveness of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in correction of vision in low and moderate Myopia. To evaluate the results of 193-nm exeimer laser photorefractive keratectomy for highly Myopic eyes, we reviewed refractive outcome of 43 eyes of 30 patients. Most eyes were treated with 1-step operation, using a 6 mm optical zone. 43 eyes were treated for Myopia, wh...

This study describes a case of nodular epithelial hyperplasia and stromal alterations in a patient with keratoconus who was submitted to topography-guided photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) followed by corneal collagen cross-linking. Debridement of the epithelial nodule was performed. After a 2-year followup, a new topography-guided PRK was indicated.

The aim was to assess the results achieved in keratoconic corneas submitted to the combined partial topography-guided photorefractive keratectomy (TG-PRK) and corneal cross linking (CXL) procedure performed on the same day. Four patients underwent this treatment of one eye. Corneal epithelium removal was performed by 50-micron phototherapeutic keratectomy. Then, partial TG-PRK laser treatment w...
