A 49-year-old woman developed repeated episodes of severe keratitis after radial keratotomy for myopia (329). After 18 months of repeated hospital admissions, several operations, and considerably reduced visual acuity, it eventually transpired that she had been self-medicating with 1 % proparacaine mixed with artificial tears to control pain after her surgery. [Pg.2144]

A common ophthalmic procedure is the radial keratotomy. With this procedure, fine laser cuts are made in a radial fashion around the cornea. These precision cuts can correct myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness). Laser is also used to treat a number of eye problems such as a detached retina (separation of the imaging surface of the retina from the back of the eye), glaucoma (increased pressure within the eyeball), and cataracts (clouding of the lens). [Pg.1120]
