The phakic intraocular lenses (pIOLs) are a good option for the correction of high refractive errors. According to their anatomical position there are two types of pIOLs: anterior or posterior chamber. The anterior chamber ...

PURPOSE: To evaluate outcome and complications in LASIK with reprocessed blades. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of patients' charts submitted to complete custom LASIK from January 2004 to June 2005. Inclusion criteria ...

Descrevemos um caso de ectasia de córnea precoce após cirurgia de LASIK, detectado no primeiro semestre pós-operatório. Nós optamos tratar este paciente com crosslinking embaixo do flap , sem desepitelização com bons ...

The aim of supervision relies on a thorough understanding of corneal biomechanics in order to predict refractive surgery outcome. The study of changes in stress and elasticity after corneal reshaping by additive or subtractive ...

The method of phototransferred thermoluminescence (PTTL), using CaSO(4):Dy pellets produced at WEN as sensitive material, was used to detect the spread laser radiation inside the surgery room during refractive surgical ...

PURPOSE: To assess clinical outcomes and changes on higher-order aberrations (HOA) after wavefront-guided laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for correction of myopia and myopic ...

Objective: To compare conventional alcohol-assisted PRK (aaPRK) and single-step transPRK in terms of clinical-refractive and surgical variables. Method: An observational, prospective, longitudinal study was carried out in ...
