PURPOSE: To describe the surgical outcome of a patient who had a previous buttonhole after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and 3 months later, had wavefront-guided photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) with topical mitomycin C 0.02%. METHODS: A 38-year-old man underwent bilateral LASIK for correction of myopic astigmatism. A buttonhole in his right eye LASIK flap occurred, but the surgeon decided to proceed with ablation due to the small size of the buttonhole. After LASIK, the patient complained of monocular diplopia in his right eye with 20/30 best spectacle-corrected visual acuity. Wavefront analysis showed a large amount of higher order aberrations, especially coma. Slit-lamp examination revealed a moderate buttonhole scar. Three months after LASIK, the patient underwent wavefront-guided PRK with application of topical mitomycin C 0.02% on the stromal bed, for a duration of 2 minutes. RESULTS: One month after wavefront-guided PRK, his uncorrected visual acuity was 20/25 in the right eye, with no symptoms. Best spectacle-corrected visual acuity in the right eye was 20/15 with +0.25 -0.50 x 110 degrees. No haze or scar was seen on slit-lamp examination. Wavefront analysis showed a decrease in higher order aberrations, especially coma and spherical aberration. CONCLUSIONS: Wavefront-guided PRK with prophylactic topical mitomycin C was effective in treating a patient with visual symptoms and loss of BSCVA after a LASIK flap buttonhole. No delayed epithelial healing, side effects or complications were noted due to mitomycin C. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To compare photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) with prophylactic use of mitomycin C (MMC) and LASIK in custom surgeries for myopic astigmatism. METHODS: Eighty-eight eyes of 44 patients with a minimum estimated ablation depth of 50 microm were randomized to receive PRK with MMC 0.002% for 1 minute in one eye and LASIK in the fellow eye. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), cycloplegic refraction, slit-lamp microscopy, contrast sensitivity, specular microscopy, aberrometry, and a subjective questionnaire were evaluated. Forty-two patients completed 6-month follow-up. RESULTS: Mean spherical equivalent refraction error before surgery and mean ablation depth were -3.99+/-1.20 diopters (D) and 73.09+/-14.55 microm in LASIK eyes, and -3.85+/-1.12 D and 70.7+/-14.07 microm in PRK with MMC eyes, respectively. Uncorrected visual acuity was significantly better in PRK with MMC eyes 3 months (P=.04) and 6 months (P=.01) after surgery. Best spectacle-corrected visual acuity and spherical equivalent refraction did not differ significantly in the groups during follow-up (P>.05). Significant haze was not observed in any PRK with MMC eye. Mean higher order aberration was lower in PRK with MMC eyes postoperatively compared with LASIK eyes (P=.01). Better contrast sensitivity was observed in PRK with MMC eyes than LASIK eyes (P<.05). The endothelial cell count did not differ significantly between groups (P=.65). In terms of visual satisfaction, PRK with MMC eyes were better rated. CONCLUSIONS: Photorefractive keratectomy with MMC appears to be more effective than LASIK in custom surgery for moderate myopia. During 6-month follow-up, no toxic effects of MMC were evident. Long-term follow-up is necessary to attest its safety. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of prophylactic mitomycin C (MMC) during photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) over LASIK flaps for the treatment of residual refractive errors following LASIK. METHODS: In this single center, retrospective clinical study, 30 eyes of 33 patients (mean age 37.2 years) who had MMC (0.02%, 30 to 120 seconds) during PRK for the treatment of residual refractive errors following myopic LASIK were evaluated. The retreatment procedures were performed with a VISX S4 laser with iris registration. All patients underwent slit-lamp microscopy, manifest and cycloplegic refraction, corneal topography, pachymetry, pupillometry, and wavefront analysis pre- and postoperatively. All patients underwent follow-up at 1 day, 1 week, and 1, 3, and 6 months and thereafter as required. RESULTS: Mean time between LASIK and PRK retreatment was 67.3 months (range: 7 to 113 months). No intra- or postoperative complications occurred during primary LASIK or PRK retreatment. Mean spherical equivalent refraction of attempted correction with PRK was -0.94 diopters (D) (range: -2.38 to +0.75 D). At mean 7.1-month follow-up, the average uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) improved from 20/50 (range: 20/30 to 20/200) to 20/28 (range: 20/15 to 20/70). Twenty-seven of 30 eyes showed improvement in UCVA. Two eyes had subjective improvement of glare symptoms (and objective improvement in higher order aberrations), and one eye lost one line of best spectacle-corrected visual acuity due to unrelated corneal abrasion in the postoperative period. None of the eyes in the cohort developed postoperative haze. CONCLUSIONS: Photorefractive keratectomy with prophylactic MMC (0.02%) is a safe and effective option for treating myopic regression following LASIK. A single intraoperative application of 0.02% MMC for as few as 30 seconds was effective in preventing postoperative haze formation. 相似文献

Photorefractive keratectomy with mitomycin C for the management of a LASIK flap complication following a penetrating keratoplasty 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) with mitomycin C (MMC) following a buttonhole secondary to attempted laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in an eye that had undergone a prior penetrating keratoplasty (PKP). METHODS: Case report and review of the literature. A 26-year-old man underwent PRK with MMC following a buttonhole flap complication after LASIK in an eye that had undergone a PKP for keratoconus. RESULTS: Three months following the procedure, the patient demonstrated a clear cornea and a best-corrected visual acuity of 20/20. CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, this is the first case report of buttonhole during LASIK following a PKP and the use of PRK to treat a LASIK flap complication following a successful PKP. In addition, this is the first case report of prophylactic use of MMC to prevent corneal haze with PRK following PKP. A buttonhole is a rare complication following LASIK for residual refractive error following PKP, which can be successfully managed with PRK and prophylactic MMC. 相似文献

Wavefront-guided enhancements using the wavelight excimer laser in symptomatic eyes previously treated with LASIK 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
PURPOSE: To describe our clinical experience in wavefront-guided LASIK enhancements using the WaveLight ALLEGRETTO system (WaveLight Technologie AG, Erlangen, Germany) for symptomatic eyes previously treated with standard LASIK. METHODS: Twenty-six eyes of 20 patients with residual myopia, hyperopia, or mixed astigmatism and/or night vision symptoms after primary standard LASIK were considered for wavefront-guided customized retreatment using the WaveLight ALLEGRETTO WAVE 200 Hz excimer laser system (model 106). Preoperative best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), uncorrected visual acuity, topography with the ALLEGRETTO Topolyzer, wavefront analysis using the ALLEGRETTO WAVE Tscherning Analyzer, and contrast sensitivity were compared to postoperative (enhancement) measurements. RESULTS: Twenty-two of the original 26 eyes underwent wavefront-guided enhancement, 4 were excluded because they did not meet wavefront-guided treatment inclusion guidelines of this study. Mean follow-up was 8 months (range: 6 to 13 months, standard deviation [SD] 2). All patients were within +/- 0.50 diopters (manifest refraction) of intended postoperative refraction. The mean preoperative BSCVA improved from 20/25 (SD +/- 0.12) to 20/18 (SD +/- 0.1) postoperatively. All patients gained at least one line of BSCVA, and a maximum of three lines. There was no loss of BSCVA in any patient. The total amount of high order aberrations (RMSH) decreased from an average of 1.04 (SD +/- 0.22) to 0.46 (SD +/- 0.14) microm. Patients also had a mean improvement in low contrast sensitivity of 59%. CONCLUSIONS: Based on this small series, customized wavefront-guided enhancements using the WaveLight ALLEGRETTO system in patients who underwent previous LASIK appear to be safe and effective in correcting residual refractive error, reducing high order aberrations, and improving visual symptoms when reliable and reproducible measurements are achieved. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To present our experience performing wavefront-guided ablations for the treatment of residual refractive error following previous refractive surgery. METHODS: Four different cases are presented-1) primary wavefront-guided LASIK; 2) wavefront-guided lift-flap LASIK retreatment; 3) wavefront-guided photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) retreatment; and 4) wavefront-guided PRK over radial keratotomy retreatment. All procedures were performed with the Alcon CustomCornea laser platform. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), manifest refraction, and wavefront analysis (6.5-mm pupil) were performed preoperatively and 3 months after CustomCornea retreatment. The Alcon LADARWave device was used for wavefront measurements. RESULTS: Total lower order and higher order aberrations were decreased following wavefront-guided retreatment, resulting in improved quality of vision. The maximum target offset (+ 0.75 diopters) can be used to prevent an overcorrection of defocus (myopia) when treating a significant amount of spherical aberration. CONCLUSIONS: Wavefront-guided ablation was an effective treatment for residual lower and higher order aberrations following previous refractive surgery. Custom ablation treatment algorithms need to be developed specifically for retreatment procedures. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To evaluate the customized aspheric treatment zone (CATz) topography-guided ablation for the correction of irregular astigmatism induced by initial corneal refractive surgery or corneal injury. METHODS: CATz ablation was performed on 32 eyes of 28 patients. Each procedure was performed by photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) or LASIK using a NIDEK EC-5000 excimer laser. The eyes had decentered ablations, small optical zones, decreased best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), and asymmetrical astigmatism. Subjective symptoms, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), BSCVA, refraction, corneal topography, and higher order aberrations were measured. Mean follow-up was 161.9 +/- 129.9 days (range: 90 to 492 days). RESULTS: Data obtained at final postoperative follow-up show that UCVA and BSCVA increased by > or = 2 lines after CATz ablation in 17 and 11 eyes and decreased in 4 and 2 eyes, respectively. Higher order aberrations were decreased in 16 eyes and increased in 1 eye. Topographical maps were improved with decreased surface regularity index (20 eyes) and surface asymmetry index (22 eyes). Seven eyes required further enhancement for residual refractive errors. Thirteen patients (15 eyes) claimed they were satisfied with the outcome, 6 patients (7 eyes) stated that the outcome was lower than expected, and 4 patients (4 eyes) stated they were dissatisfied. CONCLUSIONS: CATz topographic ablation effectively improves the quality of vision and symptoms in the majority of patients with irregular corneal astigmatism from previous excimer laser refractive surgery. However, residual or induced refractive errors may need to be corrected with a second operation after CATz. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To determine the predictability, efficacy, safety, and stability of LASIK using custom ablation with the NIDEK Advanced Vision Excimer Laser System (NAVEX). METHODS: One hundred twenty eyes underwent LASIK for myopia using the OPDCAT algorithm. Refractive outcomes and the change in higher order aberrations, coma, and spherical aberrations were analyzed. Postoperative follow-up ranged from 6 to 18 months. RESULTS: Mean postoperative spherical equivalent refraction was -0.05 diopters (D) (range: -0.92 to +0.88 D). Uncorrected visual acuity was 1 or better in 109 (91%) eyes and 1.2 or better in 47 (39%) eyes. Postoperative spherical equivalent refraction was within +/- 0.50 D of intended correction in 110 (92%) eyes. Fifty-two (43%) eyes gained 1 or more lines of best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), and no eyes lost more than 1 line of BSCVA. Higher order aberrations root-mean-square increased by 0.053 microm postoperatively. Patients with preoperative higher order aberrations > or = 0.3 microm were less likely to have induced higher order aberrations. CONCLUSIONS: Wavefront-guided OPDCAT treatments with the NIDEK NAVEX system for myopia are safe and effective with excellent visual acuity and refractive outcomes. Eyes with > or = 0.3 microm of higher order aberrations preoperatively will benefit more from OPDCAT treatment than eyes with a smaller amount of higher order aberrations. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of transepithelial phototherapeutic keratectomy/photorefractive keratectomy (PTK/PRK) with prophylactic mitomycin-C for the treatment of refractive errors and maintenance of corneal clarity following flap complications in laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). SETTING: Outpatient tertiary care center, Chicago, Illinois, USA. METHODS: Ten eyes of 10 patients with LASIK flap complications had transepithelial PTK/PRK for correction of ametropia. Mitomycin-C 0.02% was applied to the stroma for 2 minutes following laser ablation. Postoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), refractions, and slitlamp examinations were obtained. RESULTS: Preoperatively, the mean UCVA was 20/400 (range 20/40 to counting fingers), the mean BSCVA was 20/28.5, and the spherical equivalent refractive errors ranged from +4.00 to -10.75 diopters (D). After the procedure, the mean UCVA was 20/28, the mean BSCVA was 20/21, and the spherical equivalent refractive errors ranged from +0.37 to -1.00 D. The mean follow-up ranged from 8 to 28 months. No patient experienced delayed reepithelialization, haze, or other signs of toxicity. CONCLUSION: Mitomycin-C can be a useful adjunctive therapy for the prevention of haze when applying surface excimer laser therapy to a cornea following LASIK flap complications. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical results of Alcon LADARVision4000 wavefront-guided customized treatment of eyes with myopia and/or astigmatism, and clinically significant visual symptoms related to the presence of higher order aberrations. METHODS: Seven consecutive abnormal eyes from seven patients underwent wavefront-guided CustomCornea (1 PRK, 6 enhancements after previous LASIK) to correct low and higher order aberrations, using the Alcon LADARVision4000 platform. Eyes were examined at 1 to 3 months after treatment; the longest follow-up examination was used for analysis. Uncorrected and best spectacle-corrected visual acuity, manifest refractive spherical equivalent error, and subjective visual symptoms were measured, as well as wavefront measurement of higher order aberrations. RESULTS: All seven eyes had an improvement in UCVA. One eye gained 2 lines of BSCVA, four eyes gained 1 line, and no eye lost any lines. Manifest refractive spherical equivalent error was slightly hyperopic in all eyes (+0.12 to +1.50 D). All eyes showed a reduction in pre-existing higher order aberrations, ranging between 1% and 48%. Spherical aberration was reduced most (mean 38% reduction), coma was reduced by a mean 14%, and all other terms were reduced by a mean 17% compared to preoperative values. Subjectively, all patients noticed a reduction in their pre-existing visual symptoms and reported visual performance comparable to their fellow asymptomatic eye. Overall, the treatment was considered very satisfactory by patients in terms of visual quality gain. CONCLUSION: Wavefront-guided custom ablation with Alcon's LADARVision4000 was effective in reducing higher order aberrations and related visual symptoms in this preliminary small series. Longer follow-up on more eyes is necessary to assess the accuracy of the algorithm in the correction of defocus, which resulted in a slight overcorrection in this study. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To describe the safety, effectiveness, and predictability of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for correcting residual myopia after primary photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). DESIGN: A retrospective, noncomparative case series. PARTICIPANTS AND INTERVENTION: Thirty-six consecutive eyes of 30 patients underwent LASIK after primary PRK. A Multiscan Schwind excimer laser was used for LASIK enhancement. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best spectacle-corrected visual acuity, refraction, videokeratography, and complications were determined before and after LASIK retreatment. Follow-up was at least 12 months. RESULTS: Before LASIK, 11.11% of eyes showed a UCVA of 20/40 or better. This increased to 94.44% 12 months after LASIK. A UCVA of 20/25 or better was achieved in 0% before and in 72.22% after retreatment. Refraction +/-0.5 diopters (spherical equivalent) represented 0% of eyes before and 77.78% of eyes after enhancement. Before LASIK, two eyes had significant haze. Haze remained in these two eyes and appeared in another eye. CONCLUSIONS: Laser in situ keratomileusis proved to be safe and effective for treating residual myopia after PRK. Care must be taken when considering LASIK retreatment in patients with significant haze after primary PRK. 相似文献

Wavefront customized ablations with the WASCA Asclepion workstation 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19

PURPOSE: WASCA (Wavefront Aberration Supported Cornea Ablation) is a method for wavefront-guided ablation. This new method records all existing eye aberrations with the Asclepion Wavefront Aberrometer and calculates the customized pattern for laser correction. We measured the low and high order aberrations of eyes before and after PRK and LASIK, as well as before and after flap creation. METHODS: The Asclepion Shack-Hartmann aberrometer was used to measure wavefront aberrations. Preoperative and postoperative measurements were made following both PRK and LASIK performed with conventional software, modified Aberration-free Profile (AFA) software, and specially designed WASCA software. Surgery was performed with the Meditec MEL-70 G-scan excimer laser. Additionally, measurements were made before and after flap creation only (10 eyes). RESULTS: There was a significant difference between preoperative and 1-month postoperative high order aberrations, with notable increases following conventional PRK and LASIK and less increase following modified AFA PRK and LASIK. Flap creation only changed the higher order aberrations slightly, and caused a shift toward hyperopia. In the eyes that received WASCA correction with PRK or LASIK, at 3 months postoperative the high order aberrations averaged an increase of 1.3 times for PRK and 1.8 times for LASIK. Both the AFA and WASCA treatments demonstrated improved outcomes in comparison to conventional PRK and LASIK. CONCLUSION: Wavefront mapping of the eye and wavefront-guided ablation with the Asclepion Aberrometer can be used for optimizing the results and fine-tuning visual performance after laser vision correction. WASCA PRK appeared to result in better outcomes than WASCA LASIK. 相似文献

The prophylactic intraoperative use of mitomycin-C (MMC) to prevent haze and scarring after excimer laser surface ablation (phototherapeutic/photorefractive keratectomy [PTK/PRK]) in an eye with a previous laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) flap buttonhole with epithelial ingrowth is described. A well-centered buttonhole measuring 2.0 mm in diameter was cut within a thin LASIK flap in an amblyopic eye. Over the next 8 weeks, corneal haze and progressive epithelial ingrowth formed centrally. An early transepithelial PTK/PRK approach was chosen to manage the buttonhole together with the epithelial ingrowth and to treat ametropia before the onset of scarring. The approach included epithelial removal with PTK, application of MMC 0.02% for 1 minute, irrigation, a short waiting period to allow for diffusion, PRK correction of -4.0 diopters without nomogram adjustment, and bandage contact lens. A regimen of prednisolone acetate 1% and ofloxacin 0.03% 5 times a day for 1 week (steroid tapered) was prescribed. Epithelial ingrowth was removed successfully. Minimal haze formation was visible 2 weeks after the retreatment but did not reduce best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) and resolved within the next few weeks. After 6 weeks, uncorrected visual acuity was equal to BSCVA preoperatively (20/50). There was no evidence of recurrent epithelial ingrowth or central scarring after 24 months. Transepithelial PTK/PRK was effective in managing central epithelial ingrowth in a buttonholed LASIK flap. Prophylactic intraoperative use of MMC may reduce haze formation and corneal scarring in early treatments and may also prevent recurrent epithelial ingrowth. This approach may offer faster visual recovery and no risk for a repeated buttonhole creation compared with the widespread recutting a new flap after a couple of months. The optimal application time and concentration of MMC need to be established. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To determine the safety and efficacy of performing photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in corneas previously treated with laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery. METHODS: Fifteen eyes of 14 patients who had initially received LASIK for the treatment of myopia and compound myopic astigmatism were evaluated. Variables included existence of and/or type of flap complication associated with the original LASIK procedure, refractions before and after (3 and 6 months) PRK, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), and the development of complications after PRK such as haze, scarring, double vision, or ghosting. RESULTS: All 15 eyes were available for analysis at 6 months. Eleven eyes had experienced flap complications during the initial LASIK procedure and 4 eyes had experienced complications in the LASIK postoperative period. Characteristics prior to performing PRK included 11 myopic and 4 hyperopic eyes. By 6 months after PRK treatment, 87% of eyes had UCVA > or = 20/40, 53% had > or = 20/25, and 40% had > or = 20/20. All eyes had BSCVA of > or = 20/30, with 73% being > or = 20/20. No eye had lost 2 lines of BSCVA and only 1 eye lost 1 line of BSCVA. Sixty percent of eyes were within 1.0 diopters (D) of emmetropia, and 40% were within 0.5 D of emmetropia. A trend towards undercorrection and surgical induction of astigmatism as confirmed by vector analysis was noted. No eye developed significant haze or scarring. CONCLUSIONS: Photorefractive keratectomy may be a safe procedure to perform in corneas previously treated with LASIK surgery. Results show good reduction of refractive error and improvement of UCVA and BSCVA. A significant undercorrection of astigmatism was attributed to surgically induced astigmatism. Further studies are necessary to determine the long-term safety and stability of outcomes. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To study the results of late photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in corneas originally subjected to LASIK. METHODS: Seven eyes of seven patients who had LASIK for myopia were retreated with PRK at least 2 years after LASIK. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), refraction, and haze were evaluated before and after LASIK and after retreatment by PRK. RESULTS: Photorefractive keratectomy retreatment improved BSCVA in six (86%) of seven eyes, and one (14%) eye showed no changes. None of the eyes lost lines of BSCVA. Five of seven eyes developed mild haze, which disappeared before the last postoperative follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Photorefractive keratectomy retreatment performed at least 2 years after LASIK can improve visual acuity. We hypothesize that LASIK-induced corneal nerve damage disturbs corneal wound healing by increasing the tendency for development of haze. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To understand what level of higher order aberrations increases the relative risk of visual symptoms in patients after myopic LASIK. METHODS: This study was a retrospective comparative analysis of 103 eyes of 62 patients divided in two groups, matched for age, gender, pupil size, and spherical equivalent refraction. The symptomatic group comprised 36 eyes of 24 patients after conventional LASIK with different laser systems evaluated in our referral clinic and the asymptomatic control group consisted of 67 eyes of 38 patients following LADARVision CustomCornea wavefront LASIK. Comparative analysis was performed for uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), contrast sensitivity, refractive cylinder, and higher order aberrations. Wavefront analysis was performed with the LADARWave aberrometer at 6.5-mm analysis for all eyes. RESULTS: Blurring of vision was the most common symptom (41.6%) followed by double image (19.4%), halo (16.7%), and fluctuation in vision (13.9%) in symptomatic patients. A statistically significant difference was noted in UCVA (P = .001), BSCVA (P = .001), contrast sensitivity (P < .001), and manifest cylinder (P = .001) in the two groups. The percentage difference between the symptomatic and control group mean root-mean-square (RMS) values ranged from 157% to 206% or 1.57 to 2.06 times greater. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with visual symptoms after LASIK have significantly lower visual acuity and contrast sensitivity and higher mean RMS values for higher order aberrations than patients without symptoms. Root-mean-square values of greater than two times the normal after-LASIK population for any given laser platform may increase the relative risk of symptoms. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of custom topographic neutralizing technique in treating highly aberrated eyes using the WaveLight ALLEGRETTO WAVE Excimer Laser. METHODS: A retrospective consecutive case series of 67 eyes with decentered ablations and 48 eyes with symptomatic small optical zones after previous LASIK underwent topography-guided retreatment with the ALLEGRETTO WAVE. Sixteen keratoconus eyes underwent topographic neutralizing technique photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). The study assessed preoperative and 6-month and 1-year postoperative results regarding best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), topography, and predictability. RESULTS: Sixty-seven eyes with previously decentered optical zones had an improvement of centration from 0.92 mm preoperatively to 0.30 mm postoperatively relative to pupil center (P<.01). Twenty-nine percent of these eyes gained 1 or more lines of BSCVA, whereas 71% had no change in BSCVA. Forty-eight eyes with previously small optical zones had an increase of the central monodioptric optical zone from 3.9 mm to 5.6 mm (P<.01). Nineteen percent of eyes had an improvement of at least 1 line, whereas 75% had no change in BSCVA and 6% lost 1 line. Sixteen keratoconus eyes had custom topographic neutralizing technique PRK as an alternative to penetrating keratoplasty. All eyes had improvement of astigmatism up to 5.00 diopters (D), with a mean change of 1.68+/-1.62 D. Best spectacle-corrected visual acuity was unchanged in 8 (50%) eyes, with 4 (25%) eyes gaining 1 line, 2 (12%) eyes gaining 2 lines, and 2 (12%) eyes losing 1 line of BSCVA at 6 months. CONCLUSIONS: Management of some highly aberrated eyes is now possible with topography-guided ablation using the WaveLight ALLEGRETTO platform and custom topographic neutralizing technique. Safety was acceptable for small optical zone and decentered ablation retreatments. The topography-guided ablation could be an alternative treatment for keratoconus patients if keratoplasty is otherwise indicated. The algorithms for custom topographic neutralizing technique need further refinement. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical results of wavefront-guided customized treatment of eyes that underwent previous keratorefractive surgery with clinically significant visual symptoms related to the presence of higher order aberrations, with or without defocus/astigmatism. METHODS: Twenty-eight consecutive eyes of 19 symptomatic patients underwent wavefront-guided custom photorefractive keratectomy (PRK with mitomycin C) to correct low and high order aberrations, using the LADAR-Vision platform. All eyes had manifest refractive spherical equivalent (MRSE) error from 0.00 to -4.25 diopters (D), and high order aberrations root-mean-square (RMS) values >0.80 microm for a 6.0-mm measurement diameter (mean: 1.18 microm). Eyes were examined at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Uncorrected (UCVA) and best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), MRSE, wavefront measurement of high order aberrations, and patient subjective evaluation were the parameters used to assess the treatment. RESULTS: Six months after treatment, all 28 eyes had an improvement in UCVA compared to preoperative values. Seventeen (60.7%) eyes gained lines of BSCVA (1 to 3 lines) whereas 1 eye lost 1 line. Although the amount of positive defocus was intentionally and empirically undercorrected in this study, MRSE was slightly hyperopic (mean +0.65 D, range: -0.25 to +1.75 D). All eyes showed a reduction in pre-existing high order aberrations, with a mean reduction of 47% (0.62 microm). Spherical aberration reduced the most (mean 60%), coma was reduced by a mean 29%, and all other terms were reduced by a mean 42% compared to preoperative values. Subjectively, all patients but 1 (both eyes treated) noticed a reduction in their pre-existing visual symptoms. Overall, the treatment was considered satisfactory by the patients in terms of visual quality gain. CONCLUSIONS: This series of consecutive treatments of symptomatic eyes indicates wavefront-guided custom ablation is an effective surgical option to reduce visually impairing high order aberrations and related visual symptoms. To avoid the resulting hyperopic shift, some significant nomogram adjustments are necessary, most often when pre-existing positive spherical aberration is present. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To study photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) or laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) after clear lens extraction (CLE) with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation for hyperopia or astigmatism. DESIGN: Retrospective, noncomparative interventional case series. PARTICIPANTS: Sixty-five eyes (55 subjects) had CLE with posterior chamber IOL implants for hyperopia up to 12.25 diopters (D); 31 eyes were retreated with PRK, and 34 eyes were retreated with LASIK for residual ametropias. INTERVENTION: For PRK and LASIK, the refractive surgery was performed with the slit-scanning excimer laser Nidek EC-5000, Nidek Co., Tokyo, Japan. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Manifest refraction, best-spectacle and uncorrected Snellen visual acuity, haze, and halos were evaluated before surgery and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperative. RESULTS: Forty-seven eyes were evaluated at the 12-month postoperative examination: 96% of these eyes had spherical equivalents (SE) within +/-2 D of emmetropia, 79% of eyes had SE within +/-1 D of emmetropia and 51% of eyes had SE within +/-0.50 D of emmetropia. Eighty-five percent of the eyes at 12 months postoperative had uncorrected visual acuity of 20/40 or better, and 46% of eyes had uncorrected visual acuity of 20/20 or better. Eighty-seven percent of the eyes at 12 months postoperative had uncorrected visual acuity within 1 Snellen line of their initial best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) before all treatment. No eye lost 2 Snellen lines of BSCVA at 3, 6, or 12 months after PRK or after LASIK. CONCLUSIONS: IOL implantation for CLE, although an invasive technique, resulted in better refractive outcomes without laser-related clinical complications after PRK or LASIK adjustment. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To compare visual outcomes using the WaveLight ALLEGRETTO WAVE to administer either wavefront-optimized (standard LASIK) or wavefront-guided (custom LASIK) treatments in myopic eyes. METHODS: In this prospective, open-label, multicenter study conducted in the United States, 374 eyes were randomized by alternating enrollment to receive either wavefront-optimized or wavefront-guided LASIK treatments with this laser platform. Bilateral treatments were administered, with both eyes of each patient receiving the same treatment. Corneal flaps were created using the IntraLase femtosecond laser. RESULTS: In this FDA clinical trial, results at 3 months postoperatively revealed that 93% of eyes in both cohorts receiving either wavefront-optimized or wavefront-guided treatments attained an uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) of 20/20 or better. Seventy-six percent of eyes with the wavefront-optimized treatment and 64% of eyes with the wavefront-guided treatment achieved UCVA of 20/16 or better. None of the eyes that received either treatment lost two lines or more of best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA). In addition, 58% of eyes with wavefront-optimized treatment and 62% of eyes with wavefront-guided treatment gained one line or more of BSCVA. None of the eyes in either treatment group underwent retreatment. CONCLUSIONS: In the majority of eyes, no statistically significant differences were found between either treatment group in regard to visual acuity and refractive outcomes. Wavefront-guided treatments are not required in most cases with this laser, but may be considered if the magnitude of preoperative root-mean-square (RMS) higher order aberrations is >0.35 microm. In this study population, 83% of eyes had preoperative RMS higher order aberrations of <0.3 microm. 相似文献
