Q

Limbus definitions:
Anatomist
Pathologist
Surgeon

A

Anatomist- termination of descemets and bowmans

Pathologist-

  • anterior limbus= termin of bowman and descemets
  • posterior = line btw iris root and schlemms canal

Surgeon

  • anterior blue zone (1 mm) and posterior white zone
  • perpendicular incision thru conj insertion enters AC thru desc
  • perpendicular incision thru posterior aspect of limbus enters AC thru TM

Q

What r cutoffs for post op power of cornea after LASIK?

How do u predict postop power?

A

Keep between 34 and 50D

If correcting myopia remove 0.8 D for every D of ablation
For hyperopia it’s 1D increase for every D of treatment
