H o w T h e E y e F u n c t i o n s In the normal eye, the cornea focuses light
onto the retina, producing an image that is
crisp and clear. In the nearsighted eye, the
cornea focuses light in front of the retina,
while in the farsighted eye, light is focused
behind the eye. For those with an astigmatism, an oval shaped cornea causes light to
be focused at two different points in the eye.
Regardless of the condition, the result is the
same – images appear blurred or fuzzy.
S u r g i c a l O p t i o n s This brochure provides a general description of the many refractive surgical options
available to you at Mass. Eye and Ear. Which
procedure is right for you depends on many
factors including the nature of your vision
problem, recuperation time, and your medical history. After undergoing a thorough
vision evaluation, you and your physician
will discuss your vision goals and determine
which treatment is best for you.
1.
LASIK
(Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis)
LASIK can correct varying degrees of
nearsight­edness (myopia), farsightedness
(hyperopia), and astigmatism and is generally the treatment of choice for patients with
high degrees of myopia or hyperopia. In
LASIK surgery, the underlying surface of the
cornea is reshaped with the laser, allowing
light to be refocused and vision improved.
LASIK surgery generally results in little or
no post-operative pain and rapid recovery of
vision.
a. Excimer Lasers, such as the
ALLEGRETTO WAVE® or VISX
CustomVue™, are used to produce beams
of invisible ultraviolet light energy, and
remove microscopic amounts of tissue in
the eye; this process reshapes the
curvature of the eye.
b. Femtosecond Lasers, such as the FS200
or the IntraLase®, are an all laser approach
to vision correction; they create thin flaps
in the eye using short laser pulses. The
flaps are then lifted from the eye’s surface,
and the curvature of the eye is corrected.
ASA
2. (Advanced Surface Ablation)
ASA involves loosening surface skin cells in
the eye and removing small amounts of eye
tissue. The corneal surface is then treated
with the laser.
a. PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)
reshapes the cornea with an excimer laser
beam that emits ultra violet light after
removing the epithelial surface layers of
the cornea.
b. LASEK (Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis)
involves creating an epithelial sheet that is
replaced after the PRK treatment. LASEK
is a procedure that combines many of the
advantages of LASIK and PRK in that there
may be less discomfort than after PRK, and
it is indicated in situations where LASIK
cannot be performed (such as thin cornea and irregular corneal contours by topography).
c. EpiLASIK uses a blunt blade to smoothly
separate the epithelium from the cornea,
creating a thin flap.
3.
PHAKIC INTRAOCULAR LENSES
Phakic Intraocular Lenses are clear,
implantable lenses that are surgically placed
between the cornea and the iris. The lenses
allow light to focus on the retina, which
causes clearer vision without glasses or
contact lenses. The phakic intraocular lenses
work from within the eye, unlike corrective
lenses, which work from the surface of the eye.
a. Visian ICL™ intraocular lenses are made
to remain in the eye for a lifetime. Visian
ICL™ lenses are able to treat patients with
thin corneas, dry eyes, and patients with
extreme refractive errors.
4.
REFRACTIVE/CLEAR LENS EXCHANGE
Refractive/Clear Lens Exchange is typically
performed on patients with high degrees of
hyperopia (farsightedness). In this procedure,
the eye’s natural lens is replaced with an artificial, intraocular lens. This corrects refractive
error and helps achieve sharper focus.
5.
ICRS
(Intracorneal Ring Segments)
ICRS, also known as Intacs®, is currently
only available to treat a specific low range
of nearsightedness (myopia). Two, tiny
crescents or arcs made of a transparent
plastic material are placed in the outer
periphery of the cornea. Once in place, the
two arcs flatten the cornea so that light rays
properly focus on the retina. Intacs® can be
removed or replaced if vision changes.
AK
6. (Arcuate Keratotomy)
AK reduces spherical error, and employs two
arcuate incisions to reduce astigmatic error.
Recovery is generally brief.

appointments even if you feel you are doing fine and are

changes that you may not detect.
