J Cataract Refract Surg 1999;25:582586. Computer-assisted corneal topography in keratoconus. WebThe most common reason PRK is recommended over LASIK is when corneal thickness is not adequate to safely make a LASIK flap. For every diopter corrected, around 12 to 14 microns are removed. LASIK is an excellent procedure for most patients with myopia and astigmatism. One hypothesis is that some of these individuals would have developed delayed onset forme fruste or keratoconus even without LASIK procedure. Cataract surgery with a smartphone / tablet. 2010;21:255-8. Any use of this site constitutes your agreement to the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy linked below. Then depending on your prescription you may still be a LASIK candidate, however PRK may still be the safer option to make sure you have enough residual corneal bed left over after the procedure. Refractive surgical options for hyperopia can be either cornea- or lens-based surgeries. [19]Confocal microscopic analysis of post-LASIK ectasia showed unevenly distributed highly reflective collagen scars with reduced keratocyte density and background transparency at the anterior stroma compared to normal post-LASIK eyes. Mayo Clinic does not endorse companies or products. After a mean follow-up of 6.892.35 years (standard deviation), the safety index was 1.17, the efficacy index was 0.94, The correction for hyperopia is peripheral (leaving the central cornea untouched), and The femtosecond laser creates a corneal incision by delivering laser pulses at a predetermined depth in the cornea. Corneal thickness can influence the actual reading of the amount of pressure in the eye. based upon the theoretical Munnerlyn Formula. Corneal thickness map Shape Cone-like Superior-inferior difference (m) <30 >30 Thinnest location difference between both eyes (m) <30 >30 Against this backdrop, refractive surgeons are reacting positively to a proposed new formulathe percent tissue altered (PTA) metricfor identifying at-risk eyes.
