OBJECTIVE This study aims to compare the differences of clinical efficacy and safety of treatment of stable psoriasis vulgaris with calcipotriene ointment in combination with 308 nm excimer laser to 308 nm excimer laser alone. METHODS Randomized, open and self-control trial was conducted in 36 selected patients. The skin lesions from these patients with stable psoriasis vulgaris were divided ...

BACKGROUND Little is known about the mechanism(s) in the development of restenosis after excimer laser angioplasty. Thus, the rationale of this study was to determine the time course of intimal and medial smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation and histomorphological changes after experimental excimer laser treatment. METHODS AND RESULTS Laser ablation was performed in the right carotid artery...

esults of excimer laser photorefractive kera-tectomy (PRK) for low and moderate myopia are clinically acceptable. 1,2 After PRK, slight changes in corneal transparency in the ablation zone or some superficial corneal problems can be observed postoperatively, no matter the excimer laser employed. Some reports describe anterior wound healing after excimer laser keratectomy. Tuft et al 3 and Marsh...

BACKGROUND Myopia is a condition in which the focusing power (refraction) of the eye is greater than that required for clear distance vision. There are two main types of surgical correction for moderate to high myopia; excimer laser and phakic intraocular lenses (IOLs). Excimer laser refractive surgery for myopia works by removing corneal stroma to lessen the refractive power of the cornea and ...

Both cis and trans isomers of FCSF were generated by irradiation of Ar matrix isolated F(2)CS at 16 K with an ArF excimer laser (lambda = 193 nm).

We report the case of a 46-year-old female patient who was referred to our clinic (Orasis Eye Clinic, Reinach, Switzerland) seeking improvement of her distance and near visual acuity. Radial keratotomy (RK) was performed at a younger age on both eyes to correct -5 D myopia. The patient underwent a bilateral same-session multifocal corneal excimer femtosecond laser (Supracor) keratomileusis corr...
