Conclusions: Laser in situ keratomileusis treatment for high myopia can effectively reduce high degrees of myopia. Under correction was observed in both treatment groups but Group B has a slightly better predictability. Significant loss of BSCVA occurs infrequently after LASIK for even considerable grades of myopia (0.6% in each group). (Source: Acta Ophthalmologica)

According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the 66.4 percent increase in myopia in Americans since the 1970s, as reported in the recent National Eye Institute (NEI) study, is significant and will impact healthcare costs as well as vision quality. Today, 47 million Americans aged 20 and older are myopic and billions of dollars are spent annually on glasses and contact lenses. In addition, the majority of LASIK and related refractive surgical procedures in the United States are performed to correct

Conclusions These findings suggest that the base curves of bandage contact lenses affect visual rehabilitation after epi-LASIK, particularly in patients with a steep cornea and high myopia.

Conclusions: Wavefront-guided PRK with 0.002% MMC was more effective than wavefront-guided LASIK for correction of moderate myopia. Further research is necessary to determine the optimal concentration, exposure time and long-term corneal side effect of MMC. (Source: British Journal of Ophthalmology)

Purpose: To compare intraocular pressure (IOP) and corneal biomechanical metric changes after myopic laser in situ keratomileusis and laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy (LASEK).Setting: Private practice, St. Louis, Missouri, USA.Methods: The IOP, corneal biomechanical markers, and Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) waveform parameters were prospectively measured preoperatively and after 6 months in ablation-matched myopic LASIK eyes (mLASIK group) and LASEK eyes (mLASEK group).

Conclusions: Both PRK and LASIK were safe for moderate myopia. LASIK demonstrated slightly better efficacy, predictability, and less rate of re-treatment after 10 years. The technical improvements should be taken into account when comparing these results with those obtained more recently. (Source: British Journal of Ophthalmology)

Conclusions: Phakic IOL implantation is effective in the correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism. In cases of high myopia of ?8 diopters or more, pIOLs may provide a better visual outcome than keratorefractive surgeries and better safety than refractive lens exchange. The short-term rates of complications and loss of BSCVA are acceptable. Comprehensive preoperative evaluation and long-term postoperative follow-up examinations are needed to monitor for and prevent serious complications, and to establis

Conclusions Aspheric LASIK may be a better laser technique than Con-LASIK, with less postoperative increase in spherical-like aberrations and better control over contrast sensitivity.

Conclusion: Refractive surgery improves BSCVA in visually impaired patients, possibly through plastic changes in the visual cortex. Consequently, refractive surgery may be used successfully for the treatment of visually impaired adults to enhance their visual acuity. (Source: Acta Ophthalmologica)

A growing number of the world's children are mildly to severely nearsighted (myopic), with rates especially high among urbanized East Asians. In addition to coping with poor distance vision, children with severe myopia are more prone to visual impairment and blindness later in life. Although genetic inheritance plays a role, the rapid rise of myopia suggests that environmental factors are driving the trend.
