Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Vision Science

Context:

  • Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common refractive error impacting vision.
  • Current treatments for myopia range from excimer laser procedures to corneal implants.
  • High myopia presents unique challenges in refractive correction.

Purpose:

  • To review current refractive surgery techniques for myopia correction.
  • To discuss the potential of emerging treatments for myopia.
  • To project future advancements in achieving optimal visual acuity.

Summary:

  • Photorefractive keratectomy and LASIK are leading excimer laser techniques for myopia reduction.
  • Intracorneal ring segments show promise for low myopia, while epikeratoplasty and phakic IOLs address high myopia.
