Abstract
|
|
|
Keratomileusis-in-situ was performed on 18 eyes(15 patients) to correct high myopia. Average preoperative spherical equivalent was -19.26D with a range of -13.25 to -30.50D. The mean postoperative myopia was -4.80D(-0.00 to -9.00D), checked at 6
month
postoperatively. Preoperative corneal power was +41.11d, while it decreased to +35.41D at postoperative 6 months. Of all the cases, there was no significant complication except the one who had irregular astigmatism caused by the epithelial
ingrowth
in the interface. Uncorrected vision of all the patients improved markedly, compared to those preoperatively. In conclusion, Keratomileusis-in-situ is a feasible technique for correcting high degree of myopia, though the calculation program
might be
improved to obtain adequate prediction.
