PRK complications and treatment of research.doc

 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 13 PRK complications and treatment of research Excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) can be successfully correcting myopia and astigmatism, but not without complications, one of which, after excimer laser corneal tissue healing response and sometimes unpredictable. This could lead to include the refractive regression, overcorrection, subepithelial corneal haze, postoperative pain, undercorrection, drug-induced high intraocular pressure, glare, off-center and other complications from occurring. To determine the best way to control after a reaction, thereby reducing patient complications to a minimum and not interfere with epithelial healing in order to obtain a satisfactory correction result is very important. Keywords:: R778.1 Excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy (photorefractivekeratectomy, PRK), can be successfully correcting myopia and astigmatism [1 ~ 4], however, this technology is not without complications, one of the excimer laser ablation of corneal tissue after the and sometimes unpredictable healing response [5]. In this paper, reported in the literature in recent years, PRK complications (such as PRK postoperative pain, subepithelial corneal haze, over-correction, refractive regression and undercorrection, drug-induced high intraocular pressure, glare, off-center, etc.) [2,6 ] and treatment are reviewed. 1 PRK postoperative pain PRK surgery, patients may soon have moderate to severe pain [7]. Within a few hours may be severe pain, has been reported in the 24h postoperative pain reached its peak. Partial to be diclofenac sodium (diclofenaesodium) [7 ~ 9], indomethacin sodium (indomethacinsodium) and flurbiprofen (flurbiprofen) [9] can successfully reduce postoperative pain. Vajpayee et al [10] The study found that topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and over-correction of the increase in the occurrence of these factors may be involved in the regulation of Pharmacology after laser ablation of corneal s
