Since the introduction of
photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in the year 1987 and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in the year 1990, LASIK has been preferred over PRK due to painless and rapid visual rehabilitation as well as too much less postoperative corneal haze than PRK [13,14].
EyeGate is in the clinic for two different patient populations:
photorefractive keratectomy ("PRK") surgery to demonstrate corneal wound repair and punctate epitheliopathies ("PE"), which includes dry eye.
EyeGate is in the clinic for two different patient populations:
photorefractive keratectomy ('PRK') surgery to demonstrate corneal wound repair and punctate epitheliopathies ('PE'), which includes dry eye.
The pivotal study will enroll up to 270 patients requiring corneal wound repair following
photorefractive keratectomy, or PRK, surgery.
Previous surgical procedures that can place an eye at increased risk include:
photorefractive keratectomy (PRK); extra capsular cataract extraction (ECCE); glaucoma drainage surgeries; corneal transplants; and laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
