- W2077921027 abstract "Anterior corneal pathology, such as corneal scars and corneal stromal dystrophies, can be visually devastating. Over the past decade, there was a shift in treatment of these conditions from corneal transplantation to phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) using the 193 nm excimer laser for visual restoration. We have reviewed the recent literature on tech- niques for performing and refining PTK and also on various pathologic conditions that can be treated with PTK. The pri- mary indications for PTK include anterior corneal dystrophies, such as lattice, granular, and Reis-Buckler's dystrophy. PTK can produce significant visual improvement in these patients, and corneal transplantation or retransplantation can be de- layed. Corneal degenerations, such as Salzmann's nodular degeneration, keratoconus nodules, and climatic droplet keratopathy, also can be successfully treated with PTK. Addi- tionally, anterior corneal scars from such etiologies as trauma, corneal ulcers, and prior refractive surgery can have visual improvement with PTK. In summary, PTK is a powerful tool for the management of anterior corneal pathology. In a properly selected and well-counseled patient, PTK can significantly improve vision and quality of life." @default.
