Gold,Bernard A. Milstein +24 more
TL;DR: Photorefractive keratectomy appears effective for myopic corrections of -1.50 to -6.00 D, although some patients require between 6 months and 1 year to attain their best postoperative uncorrected visual acuity and some may require from 1 to 2 years for stabilization of refraction.

Corneal Topography of Phase III Excimer Laser Photorefractive Keratectomy: Characterization and Clinical Effects
Peter S. Hersh,Barbara H. Schwartz-Goldstein,Daniel S. Durrie,Timothy B. Cavanaugh,John D. Hunkeler,Marc Michelson,John Owen,Michael Gordon,Roger F. Steinert,Carmen A. Puliafito,Michael B. Raizman,Jay S. Pepose,John R. Wright,R. Doyle Stulting,Keith P. Thompson,George O. Blaring,Stephen F. Brint,J. Harley Galusha,Daniel H. Gold,Bernard A. Milstein +19 more
TL;DR: Topography patterns after PRK are identifiable, time dependent, and may affect clinical outcomes, and the optical zone contour is defined quantitatively for both laser techniques and optical results in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics Influencing Outcomes of Excimer Laser Photorefractive Keratectomy
Peter S. Hersh,Peter S. Hersh,Oliver D. Schein,Roger F. Steinert,George O. Waring,R. Doyle Stulting,Keith P. Thompson,Marc Michelson,John Owen,Carmen A. Puliafito,Michael B. Raizman,John R. Wright,Daniel H. Gold,Bernard A. Milstein,Daniel S. Durrie,Timothy B. Cavanaugh,John D. Hunkeler,Stephen F. Brint,Michael Gordon,Jay S. Pepose,J. Harley Galusha +20 more
TL;DR: Using this specific excimer laser system with an optical zone of 4.5 or 5.0 mm, patient age and attempted correction are important preoperative characteristics associated with postoperative uncorrected visual acuity and predictability of PRK.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hyperopic laser in situ keratomileusis to treat overcorrected myopic LASIK
Jason M. Jacobs,Matthew C Sanderson,Lawrence D Spivack,John R. Wright,Alfred D Roberts,Michael J. Taravella +5 more
TL;DR: Hyperopic LASIK was safe, predictable, and effective in the treatment of hyperopia caused by overcorrected myopic L ASIK and a new technique to place the hyperopic treatment after lifting the initial myopic flap was evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gas bubbles after flap creation with femtosecond laser.
TL;DR: Gas bubbles created during ablations may migrate posteriorly through the cornea or pass in a retrograde fashion into the trabeculer meshwork and then into the anterior chamber, respectively.
