  2. Indications
    1. Refractive Error Correction
  3. Background: Refractive Surgery reshapes Cornea
    1. Myopia (Near-sightedness)
      1. Light rays focus in front of Cornea
      2. Surgery flattens Cornea to focus light further back
    2. Hyperopia (Far-sightedness)
      1. Light rays focus behind Cornea
      2. Surgery steepens Cornea to focus light closer
    3. Astigmatism
      1. Cornea is non-spherical with uneven surface
      2. Surgery evens out Cornea, directs light at Retina
  4. Techniques
    1. Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK)
    2. Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK)
      1. Replaced by LASIK
    3. Radial Keratotomy (RK)
      1. Replaced by LASIK
    4. Laser Thermal Keratoplasty (LTK)
      1. YAG laser mediated radial spot placement
      2. Heats Cornea and shrinks stromal collagen
      3. Modifies anterior Corneal curvature
      4. Corrects presbyopic patient with <4 D Refraction
    5. Intrastromal corneal ring (ICR or Intacs)
      1. Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) ring implanted
      2. Flattens central Cornea
      3. Corrects low Myopia (<3 D)
      4. Surgery easily adjustable
      5. No risk of central Corneal scarring
    6. Phakic Intraocular Lens
      1. Plastic intraocular lens
      2. Placed anterior to natural crystalline lens
      3. Corrects high Myopia and Hyperopia

Surgical ocular refractive procedure (C1274010)

Definition (MSHFRE) Techniques chirurgicales qui ont pour objet de corriger les anomalies de la réfraction oculaire telles que la myopie, l'hypermétropie ou l'astigmatisme. Ces interventions peuvent modifier la courbure de la cornée, enlever ou remplacer le cristallin ou modifier la sclère pour changer la longueur de l'axe d'un oeil.
Definition (MSH) Surgical procedures employed to correct REFRACTIVE ERRORS such as MYOPIA; HYPEROPIA; or ASTIGMATISM. These may involve altering the curvature of the CORNEA; removal or replacement of the CRYSTALLINE LENS; or modification of the SCLERA to change the axial length of the eye.
