Abstract

It is thought that one-fourth of the world's population is myopic. Therefore, refractive surgery has been a big market in the past ten years and today. The most common two techniques in this area are radial keratotomy and excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). Excimer PRK has been accepted as an effective and safe surgery for correction of low to moderate myopia and astigmatism. In this technique, corneal tissue is removed with a high degree of predictability with virtually no damage to adjacent areas.

Özet

Dünya nüfusunun 1/4 'nün miyop olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bundan dolayı refraktif cerrahi geçen 10 sene içerisinde ve günümüzde büyük bir market halini aldı. Bu alandaki en yaygın iki teknik radial keratotomi ve excimer lazer fotorefraktif keratektomidir (PRK). Excimer PRK düşük ve orta dereceli miyopi ve astigmatism tedavisinde güvenli ve etkili olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu teknikte bitişik dokulara zarar vermeksizin oldukça yüksek tahmin edilebilirlik içerisinde korneal doku çıkarılmaktadır.
