30
Q

What are some refractive surgery pre-op evaluations you have to do?

A
  1. Medical history
  2. Ocular history
  3. Contact lens history
  4. Refractive data (with and without cycloplegic), EOM, Pupil size, Keratometry and Pachymetry, Keratoconus Topographic Index (take avg diopter power of rings 2,3 and 4 from placido’s disc. more than or equals to 47.20D suggestive keratoconus) and I-S value
31

A
  1. Topography front/rear cornea limbus to limbus
  2. Pachymetry from limbus to limbus
  3. Anterior chamber angle volume and depth
  4. Densitometry crystalline lens
32
Q

What kind of image is the Pentacam?

A

Scheimpflug images

33
Q

What are some risk factors for dry eye?

A

Gender (female more than male), Age (>50), Race (Asian), Rx ( > -6, any +), Medicine, Cigarette smoking.

34
Q

______ is the most common side-effect of LASER procedure.

35
Q

Before the LASIK surgery, what should you check on the patient’s eye?

A

make sure there’s no corneal staining, TBUT greater than 10secs, Stable refraction, stable aberrometry and no symptoms

36
Q

What are the kind of dry eye evaluations you can perform on your patients before LASIK?

A
  1. Schirmer Test
  2. Phenol Red Test
  3. Tear Osmolarity
  4. Evaluation Tear Meniscus
37
Q

What dyes can you use to check the corneal integraties before LASIK?

A
  1. Fluorescein staining to check corneal integrity for any ruptured epithelial surface. check TBUT as well.
  2. Lisamine Green stain devitalized cells. highlights dryness of bulbar conjunctiva
  3. Rose Bengal/Lisamine Green stain damaged cells and assess conjunctival surface disease
38

A
  1. abnormal topography
  2. residual stromal bed thickness
  3. Age
  4. Preoperative corneal thickness
  5. Refractive error
39

A

keratoconus

40
Q

What are some contraindications for LASIK?

A
  1. Under 18
  2. Pregnant or nursing
  3. Dx. w/collagen vascular disease, autoimmune or immunodeficiency disease
  4. Taking Accutane and/or Amiodarone
  5. Keratoconus
41
Q

Why is taking Accutane contraindicate for LASIK?

A

it causes dry eye. it’s also an side effect of LASIK surgery

42
Q

Why is take Amiodarone contraindicate for LASIK?

A

Amiodarone has many ocular side effects, which includes photosenisitivity, corneal microdeposits, hazy vision, glare and colored haloes around lights.

43
Q

What diseases affect wound healing after LASIK?

A

Diabetes, Connective tissue and/or atopic disease, Immunocompromised status, history of herpes simplex/zoster, keratitis sicca and glaucoma

44
Q

Why is glaucoma contraindication with LASIK?

A

LASIK thins the cornea and thin cornea can cause glaucoma.

45
Q

What are the pre-op medications/treatments for LASIK?

A

Omega 3, Doxycycline (antibiotics), Restasis, artificial tear lubrication, Lid massage and punctal occlusion

46
Q

A

higher myopic, hyperopic, dry eye

48
Q

49
Q

What is the treatment for ectasia after LASIK?

A
  1. glasses
  2. contact lenses (soft toric, RGP, Hybrid)
