Secondary cataracts: After cataract surgery, scar tissue may grow in the lens capsule and cause cloudy vision again. This type is called posterior capsule opacification and is treated quickly and painlessly with YAG laser capsulotomy. Pediatric cataracts: Some children are born with cataracts, while ...

Ultimately, a degenerative pannus may result from fibrous tissue growing between epithelium and Bowman's membrane. VI. “Acute” band keratopathy This may develop when materials that contain excess phosphates, especially improperly buffered viscous substances, are placed in the eye during surgery. It ...
With higher repetition rates, less energy is required to obtain the same tissue effect. FSLs used in cataract surgery employ a pulse duration of 400–800 femtoseconds (fs) and the energy range is in microjoules (μJ, 10−6 J). During the surgery of the crystalline lens of the eye, ...
When non-drug treatments have failed, surgery can be a lifesaver. However, there is scant evidence that surgical intervention is the most effective treatment for body pain. When non-invasive methods have failed, surgical intervention may be considered. ...
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 ...
In corneal surgery, the green filter highlights the rim of the DMEK graft during tissue preparation, the yellow filter enhances the contrast of the stained DMEK graft in the anterior chamber, the monochrome filter simplifies descemetorhexis by improving visualization of the...
Higher frequency of haze after these two types of surgery has also been reported in literature [12]. However, the use, or no use, of mitomycin C, was not reported in the database. It is well known that mitomycin C modifies the formation of scar tissue, so the lack of reporting use ...
