ABSTRACT Topography-guided ablation was designed to improve corneal regularity throughout the correction of corneal high order aberrations. The present report described three cases with different indications for topography-guided ablation to correct irregular astigmatism. The patients were monitored in the immediate and late postoperative periods to evaluate long-term corneal stabilization. Surgery indications were based on the patient’s complaint of poor quality of vision associated with previous radial keratotomy, corneal transplant, or keratoconus. In all three cases, the patients reported an improvement […]

OBJETIVO: Analisar os resultados refracionais no pós-operatório de cirurgia de catarata em olhos previamente submetidos à ceratotomia, utilizando a fórmula Haigis e os dados fornecidos pelo biômetro óptico IOL Master®. MÉTODOS: As medidas para o cálculo da LIO foram obtidas por meio da biometria óptica por interferometria de coerência parcial (IOL Master® – Zeiss, versão 5.4 e 5.5) que nos fornece o comprimento axial, a ceratometria central de 2.5mm, o diâmetro branco-a-branco e a profundidade anatômica da câmara anterior. A […]

OBJECTIVE: To analyze refractive results in postoperative cataract surgery in eyes previously submitted to keratotomy using Haigis formula and data provided by IOL Master®optical biometer. METHODS: The measurements for IOL calculation were obtained through optical biometry by partial coherence interferometry (IOL Master®– Zeiss, 5.4 and 5.5 version) that provides us with the axial length, the central keratometry of 2.5mm, white-to-white diameter and anterior chamber anatomical depth. The formula chosen was Haigis. The surgical technique applied was with the scleral incision […]
