| Abstrakt: | Purpose: To evaluate alterations in the blood-aqueous barrier after photorefractive keratectomy with excimer laser. Methods: Aqueous flare was evaluated using the Kowa FC 1000 laser flare meter in a total of 22 eyes which underwent photorefractive keratectomy. Myopia ranging was from -5,87 to -1,25 (-3,73+/-1,44, mean+/-SD). Anterior chamber inflammation was measured preoperatively and 1, 3, 7 and 15 days, and 1 and 3 months postoperatively using the flare mode of a laser flare-cell meter. All eyes received topical 0.25% fluorometholone drops in decreasing dosage. Results: Anterior chamber flare values were not significantly different from those found preoperatively. Conclusions: Our study shows that photorefractive keratectomy in low myopia does not induce an inflammatory response in the anterior chamber. |
