OBJECTIVE Corneal endothelium cell density evaluation in refractive surgery. METHODS The corneal endothelium cell measurements by means of specular microscopy before PRK as well as, 1 month and 12 months after PRK procedures in 62 eyes have been performed. RESULTS No statistically significant difference was found comparing corneal cell density before and after photorefractive keratectomy procedures. CONCLUSIONS The excimer laser radiation used for correction of refractive errors is safe for corneal endothelium.

D054018 Lasers, Excimer Gas lasers with excited dimers (i.e., excimers) as the active medium. The most commonly used are rare gas monohalides (e.g., argon fluoride, xenon chloride). Their principal emission wavelengths are in the ultraviolet range and depend on the monohalide used (e.g., 193 nm for ArF, 308 nm for Xe Cl). These lasers are operated in pulsed and Q-switched modes and used in photoablative decomposition involving actual removal of tissue.

D054140 Refractive Surgical Procedures Surgical procedures employed to correct REFRACTIVE ERRORS such as MYOPIA; HYPEROPIA; or ASTIGMATISM. These may involve altering the curvature of the CORNEA; removal or replacement of the CRYSTALLINE LENS; or modification of the SCLERA to change the axial length of the eye.

D018903 Photorefractive Keratectomy A type of refractive surgery of the CORNEA to correct MYOPIA and ASTIGMATISM. An EXCIMER LASER is used directly on the surface of the EYE to remove some of the CORNEAL EPITHELIUM thus reshaping the anterior curvature of the cornea.
