Abstract:
We describe the use and safety of prednisolone acetate eyedrops at the end of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) to aid proper positioning of the corneal flap. The LASIK flap is created using the preferred technique. Following laser ablation and flap repositioning, one drop of prednisolone acetate is instilled on the eye. This delineates the flap \"gutters\" and allows perfect flap positioning and centration. We used this technique in 425 eyes undergoing LASIK for correction of spherocylindrical refractive errors. Flap margins were adequately delineated intraoperatively. The only complication related to the use of the steroid suspension was crystal deposition under the flap in one case which resolved completely in 48 hours.
摘要:
我们描述了在激光原位角膜磨镶术(LASIK)结束时醋酸泼尼松龙滴眼液的使用和安全性,以帮助正确定位角膜瓣。LASIK皮瓣使用首选技术创建。激光消融和皮瓣重新定位后,将一滴醋酸泼尼松龙滴注在眼睛上。这描绘了襟翼“排水沟”,并允许完美的襟翼定位和定心。我们在接受LASIK的425只眼睛中使用了该技术来矫正球形柱面屈光不正。术中充分描绘了皮瓣边缘。与使用类固醇悬浮液有关的唯一并发症是在一种情况下在瓣下晶体沉积,在48小时内完全解决。
