Broad beam / Superficial PRK Laser Operation

カテゴリー: English — 奥ノ山医院

Please view a video of  operation on the right side.

The operation includes 3 steps. Note: The Video shows Step 2 and 3.

Step 1. Apply the ring to fix the eye movement.
Step 2. The photochemical vaporization, laser procedure starts under the observation of my college and I. We monitor the depth of the vaporization throughout the procedure as every eye is unique.
Step 3. Remove the ring and apply eye drops  which includes MMC and a protective contact lens which will stay in place for a week.

Reasons for development

I created the Broad Beam / Superficial PRK operation out of concern for my patients. I wanted a simple procedure which will give my patents a better quality of life.
This is a Russian Broad Beam Laser not an American laser with its inherent central Island problems.
All Lasik Doctors know the inherent risks of Lasik.
As you can see in the video the Broad Beam Laser is a solid laser and not a scanning  laser.
It photo chemically vaporizes gradually and smoothly creating a refractive surface which no other operation in the world can provide at this point in time.
Each ring has a slightly different amount of energy distribution which is customized for different eye profiles.

Please consider your patients and their vision 20 plus years from now.

Dr. Kodo Okuyama.
My name is Dr. Kodo Okuyama.  You can find more information at  Sangubashi.com
I was operated on by Prof. Fyodrov  using RK (Radial Keratotomy) 27 years ago.
The early form of RK was a one step incision (single depth incision) which I now realize helped to create a multi focal refractive surface for me.
The later RK operations included two or three step incisions of various depths which were more effective however the results had a tendency to be mono-focal.
I am now 63 years old and still have wonderful vision. I was inspired by Prof. Fyodrov’s dream to provide and develop an operation which will have very few side effects, this lead me to develop Flapless Lasik ( Superficial PRK / Broad Beam Laser plus MMC, anti haze agent ).
I am very happy with the results, minimal risk and the multifocal quality of my operation.

Purpose:

To report a case of spectacle-free reading in presbyopic patient post Broad Beam laser operation.
(Superficial PRK).

Methods:

A 46 year old man, who had his left eye operated on using superficial PRK 5 years ago, in 2005.

His right eye has not been operated on and he has continued to use the same power contact lens.
Use of the Profile 500 created by the Fyodrov Institute for the superficial PRK. Keratotopography TMS-ⅡN and other routine exams pre and post refractive surgery.

Picture A: Broad Beam laser (superficial PRK)

Results:

Pre operative data for the left eye SE -6.00D / BCVA 1.2 / UCVA 0.03 in distance.

  • Post operative data at 5 years, for the left eye: SE -0.5D / BCVA 1.2 / UCVA 0.9 in distance. Near vision 0.5 at 40 cm.
  • The un-operated right eye using a contact lens -5.00D / BCVA 1.2 / UCVA 0.05 in distance. Now, near vision with contact lens is 0.3 and without contact lens 0.7 at 40 cm.
  • The keratotopogram of the left eye shows the three post operative corneal zones:
  • Central zone: mostly blue color indicating a less refractive power zone.
  • Para central zone: light green ring indicating a small refractive power zone.
  • Peripheral zone: yellow to reddish ring indicating a high refractive power zone.

Broad Beam Laser:

Comparative to superficial PRK but a non scanning laser.
Plus points:

  • Create a multifocal refractive surface.
  • Less risk of infection.
  • Less risk of irregular astigmatism.
  • Less risk of keratectasia.

Conclusions:

Post operated left eye using superficial PRK was successful with both near and far vision.

This finding leads me to hypothesize that I have created an aspheric refractive multifocal corneal surface similar to a multifocal refractive IOL.

Points to consider:

1.Broad Beam Laser using one very powerful , solid multi intensity laser which creates a kind of photochemical vaporization.
2.Multifocal abrasion via smooth laser energy distribution to create a multifocal refractive surface.
3.Transepitherial superficial PRK is a One Step operation combining both the epitherial and stromal mode.
4.Flapless operation gives me the ability to use the greater (diameter and depth) refractive corneal surface to maximize the patients potential multifocal refractive surface.

    The Sangubashi Eye Clinic.

    カテゴリー: English — 奥ノ山医院

    In technical collaboration with the Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Institute, Moscow,

    The Sangubashi Eye Clinic, Shimouma Setagayaku,Tokyo, has developed Flapless Lasik ( corneal abrasion is made by a broad beam laser, and does not use any knife or surgical instrument ) myopic refractive surgery using only an excimer laser.

    The Fyodorov Institute has conducted more than 100,000 cases of PRK treatment since 1987.

    In brief, Flapless Lasik is myopic refractive surgery, by flattening the convex curve at the center of the cornea through abrasion of an optical zone of about 6.7 mm in diameter with a volume three dimensional excimer laser.

    Due to using Flapless Lasik, we reached a high accuracy rate in refractive effect of more than 93% and get as close as possible to 100% using regenerative tissue control during post operative care.

    It is highly safe and effective.

    Depending on the degree of myopia and corneal thickness, the depth and the area of abrasion vary for different patients.

    In cases of extreme myopia and very thin cornea, Flapless Lasik re-operation may be called for.

    Clinical history

    カテゴリー: English — 奥ノ山医院

    The Sangubashi Eye Clinic was founded as the first refractive eye surgery clinic in Japan in 1983.

    Refractive corneal surgery corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and helps presbiopia, so called refractive errors by changing of corneal curvature using RK, PRK, Lasik,
    Intralasik or Flapless Lasik  operations.

    As a clinic specialising in refractive eye surgery.
    we pay attention to the following:

    1) Testing on myself, members of my family and staff. Checking to make sure it’s safe and effective.

    2) Visual Acuity: using cutting edge technology to give patients the best results possible.

    3) Quality of vision: to enhance everyday activities, jobs, sports etc.

    In 2011 our Clinic celebrated it’s 28th anniversary, until now more than 20,000 eyes have been operated on and not one eye lost.

    More than 200 Japanese eye doctors have attended our clinical conferences.
    Refractive corneal operations have become more popular and accepted as a common part of modern medicine.
