Refractive Surgical Procedures

Surgical procedures employed to correct REFRACTIVE ERRORS such as MYOPIA; HYPEROPIA; or ASTIGMATISM. These may involve altering the curvature of the CORNEA; removal or replacement of the CRYSTALLINE LENS; or modification of the SCLERA to change the axial length of the eye.

1.	Myopia 12/01/2022 - "To evaluate which treatment is optimal, an overview was made of SRs and MAs to establish the quality and certainty of meta-evidence published on the efficacy of laser-based refractive surgery techniques for treating myopia in adults. " 07/01/2019 - "We aimed to present the visual results obtained in 100 small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) refractive surgeries, demonstrate whether the technique is effective in the treatment of moderate and high myopia, and observe the follow-up of these patients over 24-month period. " 12/01/2006 - "LASIK and LASEK are all safe and effective refractive surgery for high myopia." 01/01/1998 - "These data show that excimer PRK for treatment of high myopia is an effective and safe refractive surgery. " 01/01/2022 - "Laser corneal refractive surgery is cost-effective for a person desirous of refractive correction for myopia. "
2.	Cataract (Cataracts) 09/30/2022 - "With the advantage of high precision, accuracy, and safety, FSLs have helped surgeons overcome surgical limits in refractive surgery, corneal surgery, and cataract surgery. " 02/01/2000 - "In this article, the major reasons for IOL power miscalculations (which are different for RK versus RRK/LASIK) are discussed based on model calculations and based on case series of cataract surgeries, methods for improved assessment of keratometric diopters as the major underlying problem are exemplary illustrated, and finally a clinical step-by-step approach to minimize IOL power miscalculations status after corneal refractive surgery is suggested. " 01/01/2022 - "Multiple studies have shown the efficacy of the iOCT for intraoperative assistance and guidance, suggesting the potential of the device for optimizing the surgical outcomes after cornea, cataract, and refractive surgery." 09/01/2020 - "The efficacy of Aprokam was 0.21 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.08-0.55) and is based on the results of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery study. " 01/01/2024 - "Despite advancements in IOL power formulae, corneal imaging, and IOL options that have improved our ability to achieve targeted postoperative refractive outcomes, accuracy and predictability remain inferior to eyes that undergo cataract surgery without a history of corneal refractive surgery. "
3.	Refractive Errors (Refractive Error) 08/01/2005 - "Although visual rehabilitation after corneal transplantation remains a formidable challenge, developments in refractive surgery for naturally occurring ametropias directly translate into an improved ability to help these most challenging refractive cases. " 11/01/2014 - "Nevertheless, in some middle-aged patients with high refractive errors, corneal refractive surgery can be a safe and effective treatment. " 10/01/2003 - "Refractive surgery is beneficial for low refractive errors. " 04/01/2023 - "Different refractive surgery techniques have been shown to be effective and safe for the correction of ametropia following the DALK procedure and to improve the patient's quality of vision, although more research is needed to confirm long-term results. " 02/01/2023 - "More than 25 years of experience with refractive surgery techniques (since the FDA [Food and Drug Administration] of the United States approved the use of the excimer laser in the remodeling of the cornea in 1995), added to the technological advances in ophthalmology (femtosecond laser, topography-guided ablation, anterior segment imaging systems) and increased understanding of refractive errors, higher order aberrations, and corneal biomechanics make corneal laser refractive surgery a safe method and effective for the correction of these defects. "
4.	Astigmatism 02/01/2002 - "Patients with high astigmatism benefited from refractive surgery, showing a reduction from 7.9 (95%CI 6.9, 8.7) to 3.2 (95% CI 2.6, 3.9) dioptres (p<0.001). " 01/01/2014 - "Topography-guided treatment is effective in correcting the irregular astigmatism after refractive surgery. " 02/01/2002 - "Refractive surgery was, however, effective in reducing astigmatism. " 03/01/2003 - "Multipoint (segmental) custom ablation with the Nidek NAVEX system was safe and effective for correcting mixed myopic astigmatism and for resolving visual symptoms in selected refractive surgery candidates. " 04/01/2018 - "The results of this study although are limited due to the small number of participants and confined to our demographics, provided information regarding a population that was not described before and may be helpful in obtaining optimum results in astigmatism correction in refractive surgery or designing new intraocular lenses."
5.	Hyperopia (Hypermetropia) 09/01/2001 - "Spectacles remain the preferred treatment, but both contact lenses and refractive surgery may be helpful in some situations to correct the associated hyperopia. " 04/01/1998 - "To examine the long-term safety and efficacy of hyperopic automated lamellar keratoplasty (H-ALK) for correction of primary hyperopia and for consecutive hyperopia following overcorrected myopic refractive surgery. " 11/01/2005 - "A total of 35 eyes (26 patients) with residual hyperopia after corneal refractive surgery ranging between +1.00 to +4.75 diopters (D) of spherical equivalent refraction were enrolled in the study and underwent conductive keratoplasty following a modified nomogram. " 08/01/2023 - "These findings hold particular clinical relevance to older patients and individuals with hyperopia, as they undergo photoablative corneal refractive surgery or multifocal intraocular lens implantation.
