Abstract

Purpose The aim of this study was to compare the influence of different excimer laser (193 nm) ablation frequencies (50, 200, and 500 Hz) on porcine cornea. Methods For this study, fresh porcine cadaver eyes were obtained from the butcher. PRK and LASIK were performed using a WaveLight Concept System 500 excimer laser. Various repetition rates (50, 200, and 500 Hz) and intended corrections (between -3 and -9 D) were used. Corneal endothelium was investigated pre- and post-operatively with the endothelial cell microscope EM 1000 Tomey. Post-operatively, the corneas were embedded for light microscopic (HE, Picrosirius Red) and electron microscopic evaluation. Results The mean pre-operative cell count was 2,953 (SD 149) and the mean post-operative cell count was 2,974 (SD 156). There was no difference between the pre- and post-operative cell count and the different ablation frequencies. The distribution of collagen fibers and keratocytes was comparable in all different ablation frequencies. Also, the ultrastructural evaluation of keratocytes and fibers, assessed with transmission electron microscopy, was equal in all three different ablation frequencies. Conclusions The endothelial cell density and structural and ultra structural evaluation of the different ablation frequencies (50, 200, 500 Hz) showed no specific side-effects that could be associated with higher repetition rates. The quality of the ablation was comparable in all three different laser ablation frequencies. The 5…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
