Ametropia - A generic name for eye conditions characterized by impaired refraction, e.g. myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.

Amsler Grid - A test used to detect defects or distortions in the central visual field. It consists of a square subdivided into many hundreds of small squares by horizontal and vertical lines, with a small dot in the center.

IntraLase - A type of laser used to create the corneal flap in an IntraLASIK procedure. In a traditional LASIK surgery, the flap is created by a hand-held device called a microkeratome, with an oscillating blade. In IntraLASIK, it’s created by the IntraLase™ FS laser, a cool light which passes through the corneal surface to the exact location beneath the surface which your LASIK surgeon has programmed into the computer. This ensures that the flap is not cut too deeply or unevenly. For the treatment itself, the excimer laser is used as in traditional LASIK procedures.

DR WILLIAM BOOTHE - EYE CENTER: Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) - A refractive surgery like LASIK, where an excimer laser is used to reshape the cornea and correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. It’s used for those who have corneas too thin to tolerate a LASIK procedure. Instead of the microkeratome being used to create the corneal flap, the laser is used, which can do it even more precisely and subtly than the microkeratome.

limbus -
The visible borderline between the clear window (cornea) and the white globe (sclera) of the eye. The conjungtival layer which covers the globe also joins at the limbus. (see illustration x)

masks - Masks are used in PRK surgery to modify the removal of surface tissue by the laser. PRK surgery involves the removal of or fashioning of concave (myopic) or convex (hyperopic) lenses on the corneal surface. Most refractive errors also include some element of astigmatic irregularity. Most excimer laser machines employ different kinds of masks to customize, refine and smooth the corneal surface. Many machines have an internal constricting diaphragm (like a camera f-stop mechanism) as an internal mask for use in treating Myopia. One manufacturer uses an extra material applied unto the cornea (an ablatable or destroyable mask) for treating astigmatism. Another manufacturer uses a different shaped metal mask for treatment of hyperopia or myopia. Variable rotation of the masks is used to deal with astigmatism

DSAEK - DSAEK (Descemet's Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty) is a new procedure devised in 2007 for improving a corneal transplant. Descemet's Membrane (named after French physician Jean Descemet (1732-1810), is the basement layer, the innermost of the cornea's five layers. DSAEK transplants only this very thin layer rather than the entire cornea. The replacement layer from a donor stays in place without the need for any sutures. Recovery from DSAEK is one to three months, as compared to the one to two years' recovery required by a full corneal transplant.

DR BOOTHE - LASIK EYE

Focusing power of the eye - The combined action of the cornea and the lens to refract light on to the retina. As light enters the eye, it’s refracted (bent) by the cornea, because of the cornea’s curvature. As the light continues further into the eye, passing through the pupil to reach the lens, it’s refracted more, to a variable degree according to how far away from the eye the object is which is reflecting this light. If it’s down the road a ways, like a distant traffic light, it needs to be refracted less in order to land in focus on the retina. If it’s close up, like the clock on the dashboard, it needs to be refracted more.
