Dr. Angela Nahl of La Jolla LASIK Institute recently became the first San Diego LASIK surgeon to perform refractive surgery on a patient using the new Ziemer Z-LASIK technology. The patient, who happens to be a physician, reported only minor discomfort and tested with vision following the ten minute procedure. During LASIK, the surgeon cuts a flap in the patients cornea, performs laser treatment and replaces the flap. Over the last eight years, the quality of results and speed of healing have been improved as lasers such as the IntraLase have replaced fine blades...

Efforts to improve the safety and predictability of the lamellar incision have fostered the development of femtosecond lasers. Several advantages of the femtosecond laser over mechanical microkeratomes have been reported in LASIK surgery. In this article, we review common considerations in management and complications of this step in femtosecond laserLASIK and concentrate primarily on the IntraLase laser because most published st Tue, 23 Nov 2010 18:10:18 +0000 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3597574&cid=c_13_30_f&fid=38496&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jcrsjournal.org%2Farticle%2FPIIS0886335010003810%2Fabstract%3Frss%3Dyes Purpose To compare visual outcomes, complications, and patient satisfaction after femtosecond laser in situ keratomileusis LASIK and conductive keratoplasty CK.Setting Private laser clinics, Reading and Southampton, United Kingdom.Methods In this retrospective consecutive single-surgeon comparative study, presbyopic emmetropia was treated with femtosecond LASIK or CK to achieve monovision by targeting . diopters D of myopia in the nondominant eye after a successful monovision contact lens t Tue, 23 Nov 2010 18:10:18 +0000 http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&fd=R&usg=AFQjCNHfyRdyYWllncn9YZnQ8bnYuSBihQ&url=http://www.osnsupersite.com/view.aspx?rid%3D77245 LASIK variant creates multifocal or aspheric corneal surface to treat presbyopiaOSN SuperSiteThe IntraLase femtosecond laser Abbott Medical Optics was used to create flaps of . mm in diameter with a hinge and side cut. ...
