Top LASIK and Refractive Experts in Trusted LASIK Surgeons Directory Present Research and Educate Their Peers at Annual AAO Meeting ...(surface and assess HOA's and elevations ...)

surface and assess HOA's and elevations via Scheimpflug rotating images with the Pentacam is a very important tool in screening patients for refractive surgery."

Dr. Bowman went on to note that "the presence of significant HOA's and elevations allows the surgeon to detect patients at risk for keratoconus well before conventional topography. With topographically-driven LASIK on the horizon, and collagen cross-linking showing promising results, surgery should be deferred by patients with asymmetric topography and posterior corneal abnormalities. Utilizing rotating Scheimplfug images pre-operatively is a powerful resource for screening out at risk individuals, and should result in improved long-term results and safety for our LASIK patients."

Northern California Bay Area LASIK expert Edward Manche, M.D., Professor of Ophthalmology and Director of the Stanford Eye Laser Center, presented two lectures at the AAO meeting. The first lecture was entitled "Comparison of Intraoperative Subtraction Pachymetry & Postoperative Anterior Segment OCT Imaging of Femtosecond and Mechanical Keratome LASIK Flaps." This study compared the accuracy of flap thickness using two measurement techniques, subtraction pachymetry, which uses a thin ultrasonic probe, and an OCT ("optical ultrasound") device to measure the flap thickness one year after the LASIK surgery. The study found that the OCT device is a powerful measuring device that allows the surgeon to precisely measure the sub-surface of the human cornea in three dimensions. Dr. Manc
