Refractive Surgical Procedures

Subscribe to New Research on 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.

" 06/01/2005 - "Laser refractive surgery is effective for correcting anisometropic myopia in amblyopic children. " 05/01/2003 - "Many patients previously considered poor refractive surgery candidates because of their degree of myopia or corneal thickness could be offered this safe and effective combined refractive technique." 03/01/2000 - "PRK for treatment of myopia is an effective and safe refractive surgery. "
2.	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. " 11/01/2013 - "This was a comparative observational study, which analyzed the medical records of 61 patients (104 eyes) who underwent laser refractive surgery and compared the axis of astigmatism of the sitting and the supine positions. "
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. " 01/01/2013 - "Refractive surgery is considered a safe and effective method for correction of refractive errors in adults. " 11/01/2005 - "Clinical studies of phakic intraocular lenses demonstrate increasing promise for the correction of refractive errors not amenable to mainstream excimer laser refractive surgery. "
4.	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. " 01/01/2015 - "Inclusion criteria included having an appropriate anterior chamber depth and endothelial cell count, and hyperopia that was not typically responding well to corneal refractive surgery. " 05/01/2013 - "A 61-year-old Caucasian woman with hyperopia presented for laser refractive surgery. "
5.	Cataract (Cataracts) 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. " 07/01/2011 - "Such information is helpful for us to calculate the intraocular lenses power in cataract surgery and to do the surgical planning for corneal refractive surgery in eyes of different refractive power." 12/01/2010 - "The regression formula determined whether the refraction depended on the onset of cataract and estimated the amount of undercorrection or overcorrection that occurred after refractive surgery, leading to improved estimation of the power of the IOL to be implanted. " 11/01/2010 - "Taking into consideration the difference of IOL power offered by Haigis-L formula as compared with other current formulas, evaluation by IOL-Master will be helpful for improving the accuracy of IOL power prediction for the cataract eyes receiving corneal refractive surgery. " 11/01/2015 - "Cataract surgery outcomes in corneal refractive surgery eyes: Study from the European Registry of Quality Outcomes for Cataract and Refractive Surgery."
