What is keratomileusis?
keratomileusis is a type of elitative correction of vision correction. It is performed to allow the patient to stop wearing glasses or contacts. The process consists of cutting the cornea on the front of the eye on the flap to raise, trim and transform the tissue to correct the eye damage, and then replace the flap and secure the sewing. The procedure can be completed manually or more often using lasers in a process known as laser-supported in-Situ keratomileusis (lasik). It can be used to repair astigmatism, foresight and myopia. This usually includes a corneal shape to be configured for optimum light processing before reaches the retina. Before the cornea can be transformed, the part must be removed, either by freezing and manual removal or laser.
A surgical tool called microcheratom is usually used to reduce the flap in the cornea. The tool blade works by moving by rocking movement. It is often used in combination with a laser to correct vision correction. WITHThe TRH in the cornea can also be made with a fine femtosecond laser, a newer surgical tool.
When keratomileusis is performed as part of the procedure of lasik, microcheratoma or femtosecond laser is usually used with excimer laser. This tool transforms the cornea tissue as soon as the upper flap is made. It is especially suitable for eye surgery because it is capable of delicate work, except that the remaining surface after removing the tissue from the eye.
Before the extensive use of lasers, the cornea was usually cropped by hand. The parts of the cornea to be removed have been frozen with a tool called acryolathe and cut into the desired shape. When the frozen areas thawed, the transformed flaps were returned to the place under the outer valve.
keratomileusis was developed by the Spanish ophthalmologist José Ignacio Barraquer Moner, a surgeon who was responsible for many key afterSteps in modern eye surgery. Moner also developed keratofakii, a procedure in which the corneal tissue from the donor is transplanted into the patient's eye. He also invented Microcheratome and Cryolathe to properly perform his own procedures.
