Oberflächenbehandlung

  • Chapter
Refraktive Chirurgie

Zusammenfassung

In der refraktiven Augenlaserchirurgie wird zwischen Oberflächenbehandlungen und dem LASIK-Verfahren (Laser-in-situ-Keratomileusis; keratos, altgriech.: Hornhaut; mileusis, altgriech.: schnitzen) unterschieden. Oberflächliche Laserbehandlungen entsprechen dem englischen Terminus »surface ablation«. Unter diesem Begriff versteht man Operationsverfahren, die auf einer Entfernung des Hornhautepithels und einer darauffolgenden Excimerlaserbehandlung des Hornhautstromas beruhen, die im Vergleich zur LASIK eine unterschiedliche Wundreaktion und eine höhere Reststromadicke aufweisen. Neuere Oberflächenverfahren, die man eine Zeitlang im Angloamerikanischen auch als »advanced surface ablation« bezeichnete, zielen auf eine möglichst schonende Entfernung des Hornhautepithels ab.
