Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the efficiency and safety of Laser Subepithelial Keratomilieusis (LASEK) analysing the haze and other complications of this technique. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 292 eyes of 152 patients (78 male, 74 female) who underwent LASEK surgery (140 bilateraly, 12 unilateraly) in the Cornea and Refractive Surgery Department of Beyoğlu Eye Research and Training Hospital between 2001 - 2003. Mean age was 28,74 ± 7,32 (18 - 54). Mean preoperative best corrected visual acuity and spherical equivalent values were compared with mean postoperative uncorrected visual acuity and spherical equivalent values. Results: The mean preopeative spherical equivalent value was -2,83 ± 1,56 D and it became -0,05 ± 0,23 D postoperatively (p8/10 in 270 (%92,5) eyes. In 85 (%29,1) eyes corneal haze of different grades, in 7 eyes corneal infiltration was encountered and a decrease in BSCVA appeared in 8 (%2,7) of these patients in spite of medical therapy. It was due to corneal haze in 7 eyes and due to corneal infiltration in 1 eye. Conclusion: Laser Subepithelial Keratomilieusis (LASEK) is a safe and efficient procedure for the treatment of low to moderate myopia with promising results.

Özet

Amaç: Laser Subepitelyal Keratomilieusis (LASEK) sonrasında görülen korneal haze ve diğer komplikasyonları inceleyerek, yöntemin etkinlik ve güvenilirliğinin değerlendirilmesi.Yöntem: Kliniğimiz kornea ve refraktif cerrahi biriminde 2001 - 2003 yılları arasında LASEK uygulanan 152 hastanın 292 gözü (140 bilateral, 12 unilateral) retrospektif olarak incelendi. Olguların 78'i erkek, 74'ü kadın olup; yaş ortalaması 28,74±7,32 (18 - 54) idi. Preoperatif ortalama en iyi düzeltilmiş görme keskinlikleri ve sferik eşdeğerler ile postoperatif düzeltilmemiş görme keskinlikleri ve sferik eşdeğerler karşılaştırıldı, komplikasyonlar değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen gözlerin preoperatif -2,83 ± 1,56 D olan ortalama sferik eşdeğer (SE) değerleri, postoperatif olarak -0,05 ± 0,23 D olarak saptandı (p8/10 olarak saptandı. 85 (%29,1) gözde değişik düzeyde korneal haze, 7 (%2,4) gözde korneal infiltrasyon görüldü ve 8 (%2,7) gözde uygulanan medikal tedaviye rağmen en iyi düzeltilmiş görme keskinliğinde postoperatif azalma meydana geldi. Bunların 7 tanesinde sebep korneal haze, 1 tanesinde korneal infiltrasyondu. Sonuç: Laser Subepitelyal Keratomilieusis (LASEK) düşük ve orta derecede miyopinin tedavisinde ümit vadeden sonuçları olan başarılı ve güvenli bir tedavi yöntemidir.
