[Surgery for nearsightedness].
Ugeskrift for Laeger 2000 October 3
Myopia can today be reduced or eliminated by refractive surgery. Excimer laser surgery of the cornea by surface sculpturing (photorefractive keratectomy) or intrastromal tissue removal (LASIK) are the most widely used techniques, although implantation of intra corneal ring segments for low myopia also appears promising. Treatment of high myopia (> 10 diopters) is still difficult although epikeratoplasty or phakic IOL implantation are present possibilities. The perfect surgery for myopia remains to be developed, but the existing techniques will without doubt be further optimised. In 10 years time, supra normal visual acuity may even be obtained when surgical, optical, and biological variables can be described and controlled in each individual undergoing refractive surgery.
