Applications of femtosecond laser pulses in refractive eye surgery /
… are currently used for the refractive corneal surgery, with a single Yb:KGW femtosecond nIR laser equipped with the UV harmonic generator. We have demonstrated that: (1) the rate, at which the radiation of the high repetition rate femtosecond UV harmonic generator can be manipulated, is limited …

Synthesis of Silicone Magnetic Fluids for Use in Eye Surgery
Stable suspensions of superparamagnetic cobalt nanoparticles have been prepared in poly(dimethysiloxane) (PDMS) carrier fluids in the presence of poly[dimethylsiloxane-b-(3-cyanopropyl)methylsiloxane-b-dimethylsiloxane] (PDMS-PCPMS-PDMS) triblock copolymers as steric stabilizers. A series of the …

The placenta's second life
… its primary role: expelled placenta is used in eye surgery, in training dogs to sniff dead bodies, in toxicology research, in forensics, in cosmetics, and, most significantly, in an emerging field of stem cell research. From ritual use to research subject to health treatment, we have taken the …

Advanced functional and intraoperative ophthalmic optical coherence tomography imaging
… resolution swept source OCT system for use in eye surgery. The ultrahigh axial resolution of our system enabled visualization of thickness changes in the outer retinal layers after flash stimulus and subsequent dark adaptation. This finding could be used as a marker for photoreceptor health in …

Web-based system for outcome analysis and modification in laser vision correction
Refractive laser eye surgery is a specialised field in ophthalmology which aims to correct the refractive disorder of an eye. The most established technique is LASIK, which has shown good results for the treatment of simple myopia. Complex refractive disorders, such as compound myopic astigmatism, …

Active tremor control of human motion disorder
… they can not eat. Similarly, surgeons performing eye surgery must have very little tremor to enable them to operate on the small anatomy of the eyes. In both cases, a motion disorder known as essential tremor can be the cause of the insufficient level of human motor performance. Current treatments …

Essays On Labor Economics: Human Capital Risk And Labor Market Outcomes And Learning By Doing In Medicine
… those confounding issues. We use refractive eye surgery, an operation with a well-defined eligibility criterion and objective measures of previous condition and posterior outcome, which depend minimally on post-surgical care. The data used in the study is a two-year longitudinal census of …

Consolidating Approaches to Maximise Outcomes and Minimise Complications of Contemporary Cataract Surgery
… affecting millions worldwide. Cataract surgery with an intraocular lens, typically performed under local anaesthetic, transforms both vision and quality of life. This thesis explores several key aspects of contemporary cataract surgery, which is the most commonly performed surgical …

A rotary fast tool servo for diamond turning of asymmetric optics
… lenses, human lens implants, elements for laser eye surgery and camera lenses, as well as image-train elements in semiconductor processing equipment, laser printers, and other image processing equipment. The asymmetric features in such parts require a fast tool servo to synchronize the motion of …

A comparison of the effectiveness of eye protection methods used in general anesthesia
… study was to determine whether taping of the eye or applying ophthalmic ointment along with taping of the eye yields a difference in occurrence and symptoms of corneal epithelial defects in surgical patients undergoing general anesthesia. Orem's Self-Care Deficit Theory provided the …

Heme Oxygenase-2 as a novel target to treat inflammation and chronic neuropathic pain associated with corneal injury and surgery
Corneal refractive surgery aims at correcting alteration of the shape of the cornea correlated with myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. More than 12 million patients have undergone refractive surgery since it was approved (see http://www. laser-eye-surgery statistics.com/). Laser-assisted in situ …
