Clinical use of the ocular point spread function for retinal image quality assessment
2008
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the clinical use of the point spread function (PSF) as metric for the assessment of retinal image quality in eyes with different ocular conditions. The PSF was computed from the wavefront aberrations obtained in seven eyes with different ocular conditions: emmetropia, myopia, hyperopia, post-myopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), post-hyperopic LASIK, keratoconus, Intacs ® in keratoconus, radial keratotomy (RK), LASIK after RK, cataract, phacoemulsification after cataract surgery, and LASIK after astigmatic keratotomy. The Strehl intensity ratio was calculated for all the PSFs computed. The PSF was correlated with the change in the optical e…
Optical and visual quality comparison of implantable Collamer lens and laser in situ keratomileusis for myopia using an adaptive optics visual simula…
2012
Purpose. To compare optical and visual quality of the implantable Collamer lens (ICL) and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for myopia. Methods. An adaptive optics visual simulator (CRX1, Imagine Eyes, France) was used to simulate the vision after ICL implantation and LASIK procedure from the wavefront aberration pattern for -3 and -6 D. Monocular visual acuity (VA) at different contrasts and contrast sensitivity (CS) at 10, 20, and 25 cycles/degree (cpd) were measured for 3- and 5-mm pupils. Modulation transfer function (MTF) and point spread function (PSF) were calculated for a 5-mm pupil. Results. The ICL showed a MTF near of diffraction-limited MTF, but the post-LASIK of MTF worsened…
Reliability of iCare ic100 Rebound Tonometry and Agreement With Goldmann Applanation Tonometry in Healthy and Post-myopic LASIK Patients.
2021
Rebound tonometry offers excellent reliability for obtaining intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements in healthy and post-myopic laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) patients regardless of corneal parameters and axial length and regardless of the instillation of ocular topical anesthesia.The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability of rebound tonometry, its agreement with Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) and its concordance after topical anesthesia in a group of nonoperated healthy patients and a group of post-myopic LASIK patients.Fifty-four patients were included in this prospective observational, case-control study. Patients were divided into 2 groups: control (n=3…
Choice of spatial frequency for contrast sensitivity evaluation after corneal refractive surgery.
2002
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To study the utility of measurements of contrast sensitivity at different spatial frequencies as an index of visual recovery following refractive surgery. METHODS: Contrast sensitivity at 1.5, 3, 6, 12, and 18 c/deg was measured with the Stereo Optical FACT chart in 20 patients after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) using the Nidek EC-5000 excimer laser system, and in 18 patients following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASER). Contrast sensitivity was measured preoperatively and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. RESULTS: Results showed a statistically significant reduction (P<01) in contrast sensitivity at all spatial frequencies in PRR patients during the first an…
Refraktiver Nutzen und inkrementelle Kosten der LASIK: Ergebnisse einer Kosten-Nutzen-Studie an zwei universitären LASIK-Zentren
2003
BACKGROUND No data is available to date on the cost effectiveness of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with regard to the German-speaking health care system. Hence we compared the clinical outcome and cost data of two German LASIK centres in respect of procedure cost effectiveness from the patient perspective. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study was implemented at the University Hospitals of Mainz and Mannheim. Data on refractive outcome were obtained from the LASIK centres' patient documentation, cost data on the surgery as well as on eyeglasses etc. before and after the surgery were obtained from patient interviews. The primary endpoint of this investigation was the indiv…
Tratamiento de las ectasias corneales asociadas a LASIK con anillos intraestromales
2022
INTRODUCCIÓN: La ectasia corneal es una de sus complicaciones más graves de la cirugía LASIK. Está asociada a un adelgazamiento y un progresivo incurvamiento corneal y los anillos intracorneales (ICRS) se han propuesto como opción terapéutica debido a que inducen un aplanamiento. OBJETIVO: Evaluar los cambios producidos por los ICRS en pacientes diagnosticados de ectasias secundarias a LASIK. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Es un estudio retrospectivo donde se incluyeron 26 ojos con ectasia post-LASIK los cuales fueron tratados con ICRS tipo Ferrara (AJL, Vitoria). Se les realizó un examen refractivo (agudeza visual (AV) y la refracción subjetiva). Mediante Pentacam®HR (Oculus: OtikgerateGmbH, Wetzlar,…
Prevention of hyperopic surprise after LASIK in patients with refractive multifocal intraocular lenses.
2011
Purpose. Three cases of patients who developed a similar hyperopic defect in refraction following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) after multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation are described. Methods. Ophthalmologic evaluation including refractive status, corrected and uncorrected visual acuity (both at far and near), and corneal topography in patients presenting similar hyperopic refractive surprise in one eye as a result of LASIK refinement of residual ametropia after refractive multifocal IOL implantation. Results. Laser in situ keratomileusis enhancement for residual ametropia of −1.00 to −1.50 D in patients with a prior implantation of refractive multifocal IOL resulted in a…
Outcome Quality Assessment nach LASIK: Ergebnisse einer Benchmark-Studie zu klinischem Ergebnis und Patientenzufriedenheit
2003
Hintergrund Das gesetzlich verankerte klinische Qualitatsmanagement schreibt nicht nur die Prozesskontrolle innerhalb einer Einrichtung vor, sondern impliziert auch die Homogenisierung von Prozessablaufen und vor allem der Ergebnisqualitat zwischen verschiedenen Leistungserbringern. Daher sollten klinisches Ergebnis sowie Kosteneffektivitat der LASIK an den Patienten zweier universitarer LASIK-Zentren im deutschsprachigen Raum gemessen und gegenubergestellt werden.
Intraocular pressure after excimer laser myopic refractive surgery
2001
The aim of this study was to determine whether intraocular pressure (IOP), as measured by Goldmann applanation or non-contact tonometry, shows systematic changes in patients who have undergone photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) or laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). IOP was measured by central Goldmann and non-contact tonometry in 54 patients pre and post-PRK, and in 43 patients pre- and post-LASIK. An interval of 12 months was allowed after surgery. Patients were selected to have one of four specific initial values of refractive error (-2.5, -5.0, -7.5 and -10.0 D). Fellow unoperated eyes were used as controls. A paired Student's t-test and a one-way ANOVA test were used for statistical a…
Femtosecond laser versus mechanical keratome LASIK for myopia.
2005
To assess efficacy, safety, predictability, stability, and changes in corneal higher-order aberrations (CHOAs) and contrast sensitivity (CS) after a femtosecond laser for LASIK and standard LASIK for myopia.Prospective, randomized, comparative clinical study.Two hundred eyes of 100 consecutive patients who underwent LASIK treatment using the VISX S2 laser system. A femtosecond laser for flap creation was used in 100 eyes (50 patients; spherical equivalent [SE], -2.85+/-1.79 diopters [D]), and a mechanical microkeratome was used in 100 eyes (50 patients; SE, -2.90+/-1.63 D).Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), manifest refraction, CS by means of t…
