This review looks at the benefits, limitations, complications, and future applications of the
small-incision lenticule extraction procedure. Using the search terms small incision lenticule …

Purpose To compare the postoperative efficacy, predictability, safety, and visual quality of all
major forms of laser corneal refractive surgeries for correcting myopia. Design Systematic …

Refractive surgery has evolved beyond laser refractive techniques over the past decade.
Laser refractive surgery procedures (such as laser in-situ keratomileusis), surface ablation …

OBJECTIVE: This document describes laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for myopia and
astigmatism and examines the evidence to answer key questions about the efficacy and …

OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationship of visual acuity loss to quality of life. DESIGN:
Three hundred twenty-five patients with visual loss to a minimum of 20/40 or greater in at …

OBJECTIVE: Patients frequently experience dry eye symptoms after laser in situ
keratomileusis (LASIK). The mechanisms that lead to these changes are not well …

The advent of the excimer laser as an intrument for use in reshaping the corneal stroma was
a great step forward in refractive surgery. Laser energy can be delivered on the stromal …

PURPOSE: To compare the effectiveness, safety, and stability of laser epithelial
keratomileusis (LASEK), a modified photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) technique, with those …

Several laser and non-laser refractive surgical procedures have been used to modify the
shape of the cornea and correct myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia …

OBJECTIVE: To assess the posterior corneal power and asphericity changes after myopic
laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and to correlate these changes with the amount of …
