Toric phakic intraocular lens: European multicenter study.

Objective: To evaluate safety, efficacy, predictability, stability, complications, and patient satisfaction after implantation of Artisan toric phakic intraocular lenses (TPIOLs) for the correction of myopia or hyperopia with astigmatism.

Design: Prospective, nonrandomized, comparative (self-controlled) multicenter trial.

Participants: Seventy eyes of 53 patients (mean, 35 years; range, 22-59 years) with preoperative spherical equivalent between +6.

Comparison of iris-fixed Artisan lens implantation with excimer laser in situ keratomileusis in correcting myopia between -9.00 and -19.50 diopters: a randomized study.

Objective: To compare Artisan lens implantation with laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for the correction of myopia between -9.00 and -19.50 diopters.

Change in intraocular pressure in myopic eyes measured with contact and non-contact tonometers after laser in situ keratomileusis.

Purpose: To study the change in the intraocular pressure (IOP) after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for correction of myopia.

Methods: One hundred twenty consecutive myopic eyes (60 patients) were included in a prospective study. All eyes received LASIK with the Nidek EC-5000 excimer laser and the Chiron Automated Corneal Shaper.

Comparison of photorefractive keratectomy with excimer laser in situ keratomileusis in correcting low myopia (from -2.00 to -5.50 diopters). A randomized study.

Objective: To compare laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in the correction of myopia from -2.00 to -5.50 diopters.

Comparison of corneal wavefront aberrations after photorefractive keratectomy and laser in situ keratomileusis.

Purpose: To compare changes in the corneal wavefront aberrations after photorefractive keratectomy and laser in situ keratomileusis.

Methods: In a prospective randomized study, 22 patients with bilateral myopia received photorefractive keratectomy on one eye and laser in situ keratomileusis on the other eye. The procedure assigned to each eye and the sequence of surgery for each patient were randomized.

Prospective bilateral study of night glare after laser in situ keratomileusis with single zone and transition zone ablation.

Purpose: Evaluation of night glare after excimer laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) using two different ablation zone diameters.

Methods: One hundred and twenty eyes of 60 consecutive myopic patients received LASIK with the Nidek EC-5000 excimer laser. Eyes were randomized so that every patient had a single ablation zone of 5.

Excimer laser in situ keratomileusis to correct compound myopic astigmatism.

Purpose: We studied the efficacy, predictability, stability, and safety of excimer laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) to correct myopia and astigmatism.

Methods: We prospectively studied 87 consecutive eyes of 56 patients who received LASIK, divided into two groups: the myopic group included eyes with myopia more than -2.00 diopters (D) and astigmatism less than 0.
