People given phakic lenses were less likely to have a loss in their best spectacle corrected visual acuity after treatment.

The recruitment of monocytes in increased numbers after SLT likely plays a role in lowering the intraocular pressure after this procedure.

The infection started weeks after uneventful surgery, and the patient received multiple antimicrobial treatments without response. A corneal scrape isolate showed an acid-fast bacterium that was subsequently confirmed by culture to be M abscessus.

He subsequently developed grade diffuse lamellar keratitis DLK. He then elected to have SLT in the left eye and developed grade DLK.

Preoperatively, there was no known risk factor for ectasia but a m between-eye difference in central mean corneal thickness was seen on the optical pachymetry map. Two years postoperatively, bilateral ectasia was diagnosed. This case suggests that abstention or surface ablation treatment may be a safer option than LASIK in patients showing central thickness asymmetry between eyes.Financial Disclosure Neither aut 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://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3847177&cid=c_13_30_f&fid=38496&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jcrsjournal.org%2Farticle%2FPIIS0886335010009028%2Fabstract%3Frss%3Dyes Not only was this patient overcorrected, the postoperative topographic maps show that the treatment was decentered temporally in both eyes.
