Facilitation of amblyopia management by laser in situ keratomileusis in children with myopic anisometropia.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in decreasing myopic anisometropia in children with spectacles or contact lens intolerance and its validity in facilitating treatment of resultant myopic anisometropic amblyopia.

Patients And Methods: LASIK was performed for 18 eyes of 18 children having myopic anisometropic amblyopia not successfully treated with the standard amblyopia treatment for 6 months. Children were followed up at 1 week, 1, 2, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months.

Laser in situ keratomileusis for treated myopic anisometropic amblyopia in children.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in decreasing myopic anisometropia in children with spectacles or contact lens intolerance and its validity in facilitating treatment of resultant myopic anisometropic amblyopia.

Patients And Methods: LASIK was performed in 18 eyes of 18 children having myopic anisometropic amblyopia not successfully treated with the standard amblyopia treatment for 6 months. Children were followed up at 1 week, 1, 2, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months.

Comparative study of phacoemulsification-subscleral trabeculectomy versus phacoemulsification-deep sclerectomy.

Purpose: To compare the surgical outcomes of phacoemulsification-subscleral trabeculectomy versus phacoemulsification-deep sclerectomy with intraoperative mitomycin C in open-angle glaucoma.

Methods: The study was conducted on 40 chronic primary open-angle glaucomatous eyes with senile cataract. They were divided into two groups: group I (n = 20): eyes undergoing phacoemulsification with subscleral trabeculectomy, and group II (n = 20): eyes undergoing phacoemulsification with deep sclerectomy.
