Cataract removal is the surgical process of removing the blurred portion of cornea, to alleviate blurred vision. At our Kansas City, MO vision center, our doctors perform cataract removal with either a scalpel or a laser. How to Prepare for Cataract Surgery Discuss your complete medical history ...

With a larger numerical aperture, less dispersion of the laser beam ensues that in turn pro- vides a better focused laser beam. Further, the precision of the cut depth improves and lower energy is needed to provide the same tissue effect. Therefore, corneal treat- ments require a larger ...
58 The anterior and posterior capsule disks created by the laser were easy to remove and no tears occurred in this group (ages 2–9 months). The liquid-optic interface was used to image both at the start of the procedure (to perform anterior capsulotomy) and again after lens removal (for...
The surgical removal of the coccyx (coccygectomy) is reserved for cases where non-surgical methods have failed. The surgical site is not a place that heals very well, and infections are prevalent, so there is always a chance that anything may go wrong during this procedure. Another issue is...
the retina would not have enough elasticity to follow the posterior displacement of the scleral wall.31 MHRD is usually treated by temporary intraocular gas tamponade with or without pars plana vitrectomy and laser photocoagulation around the macular hole.25 Vitrectomy with attempted removal of the epi...
removal of this tissue causes the shape of the eye to change, which corrects the vision. CLEAR is a new minimally invasive procedure that can correct nearsightedness and astigmatism using low laser energy and advanced scan patterns for a gentle treatment and a good long term vision. ...
The only way to fix that would be with a graft, especially if the scarring extends deep into the midstroma. Excimer laser surgery is contraindicated in eyes with herpes simplex virus infections because the intervention can cause severe reactivation. I am not sure that excimer laser surgery ...

it should not be flatter than 37 D in the other meridian; all corneal diseases, such as corneal scarring, which could impede the transmission of the laser wavelength or distort the laser light were excluded; poorly dilated pupils or other pupillary defects were not considered for the study. ...
