Zusammenfassung

Der vorliegende Beitrag bietet eine Übersicht über den aktuellen Kenntnisstand zu den Ergebnissen und Techniken der laserassistierten subepithelialen Keratektomie (LasEk). Die wenigen verfügbaren klinischen und experimentellen Studien zu dieser neuen Technik werden kritisch analysiert. Es wird außerdem der Frage nachgegangen, inwieweit hinsichtlich der Indikationsstellung eine Abgrenzung zur photorefraktiven Keratektomie (PRK) und Laser-in-situ-Keratomileusis (Lasik) sinnvoll erscheint. Dabei sind die persönlichen Ansichten und klinisch-wissenschaftlichen Erfahrungen der Autoren mit den angesprochenen Techniken in diesen Beitrag mit eingeflossen.

Abstract

This article offers an overview of the current state of knowledge on the results and techniques of the evolving refractive procedure called laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy (LasEk). A few peer-reviewed published clinical and experimental studies on this new technique are critically debated. Furthermore we discuss the indications for this procedure in comparison to photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser in situ keratomileusis (Lasik) based on the current body of literature and the first author's clinical and scientific personal experience.
