Nghiên cứu lâm sàng đã thiết lập sự an toàn và hiệu quả của Ho: YAG LTK lên đến 2 năm sau khi điều trị. LTK cũng có thể được sử dụng để điều trị hyperopia PRK và LASIKinduced. Diode laser có thể giúp cải thiện hơn nữa sự ổn định của hiệu ứng khúc xạ với | 92 Mian and Azar corneal thickness. Clinical studies have established the safety and efficacy of Ho YAG LTK up to 2 years after treatment. LTK may also be used to treat PRK and LASIK-induced hyperopia. Diode lasers may help further improve stability of refractive effect with LTK. Wavefront-guided LTK may further improve the predictability of this procedure and allow for predictable outcomes even for retreatments of initial undercorrections. REFERENCES 1. Lans LJ.
