Summary

This study evaluated a new surgical method for myopia correction using intrastromal corneal excimer laser photoablation. While the cornea responded well, refractive outcomes were unpredictable.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal Surgery
  • Refractive Surgery

Background:

  • A novel surgical technique combining lamellar corneal keratectomy with microkeratome and intrastromal corneal excimer laser photoablation was investigated.
  • The procedure aims to correct myopia by ablating corneal stroma.

Observation:

  • The study involved six eyes undergoing the new surgical procedure.
  • Corneal response to photoablation was assessed.
  • The relationship between laser pulse count and myopia reduction was evaluated.

Findings:

  • The surgical technique showed an excellent corneal response to excimer laser photoablation.
  • However, the refractive predictability of the procedure was found to be poor.

Implications:

  • Further refinement is needed to improve refractive accuracy in this surgical approach.
  • This research contributes to understanding stromal photoablation behavior for myopia correction.
