A 15-year-old, spayed, female American shorthair cat presented with recurrent corneal sequestrum in the right eye. The cat had undergone superficial keratectomy twice for corneal sequestrum treatment 5 and 11 months previously. Two layers of porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS; Vetrix BioSIS®) were applied to the surgical corneal defect after keratectomy. Thereafter, clinical signs, such as lacrimation, blepharospasm, and corneal ulcer, disappeared 50 days postoperatively. Moreover, the application of SIS with keratectomy prevented recurrence until 651 days after surgery. SIS could be applied as an additional bioscaffold for surgical repair of corneal sequestrum recurring after superficial keratectomy alone in cats.

A 7-month-old intact female Persian cat was diagnosed with symblepharon accompanied by epiphora, brownish ocular discharge, and ocular discomfort in the left eye. Superficial keratectomy (SK) was performed to remove adhesions between the conjunctiva and cornea. To prevent re-adhesion after SK, the detached conjunctival tissue was sutured to the corneal limbus, and a soft contact lens (SCL) was inserted and a partial temporary tarsorrhaphy was performed. The SCL and tarsorrhaphy sutures were maintained for 22 days, and symblepharon did not recur 347 days postoperatively. SK combined with SCL is a relatively easy and cost-effective surgical option for feline symblepharon.

A 12-year-old gelding Warmblood Horse was presented with a corneolimbal mass in the right eye (OD) of 6 months duration. Clinical signs included ocular discomfort, persistent mucoid ocular discharge, and conjunctival hyperemia. The mass was excised by superficial keratectomy under sedation in a standing position, followed by a topical application of 0.04% mitomycin C (MMC), and a placement of a conjunctival advancement graft. The histopathological diagnosis was squamous cell carcinoma. One month after surgery, recurrence of the mass was suspected upon examination of the eye. Topical MMC and 5-fluorouracil followed by cryotherapy were applied as adjunctive therapies after debulking of the mass. The surgical site healed without complications and with a cosmetically acceptable result. No recurrence of the mass was noted four years following the second procedure.

Three dogs with different extents of corneal edema were presented to the Dana Animal Hospital Eye Center. The dogs (3 eyes) were diagnosed with corneal endothelial degeneration with clinical signs of corneal edema, conjunctival hyperemia, and mild blepharospasm through a full ophthalmic examination. For the treatment of corneal edema, superficial keratectomy using a crescent microsurgical knife was performed, and a conjunctival advancement hood flap was applied to the stromal defects. In two cases where corneal edema and opacity were observed only in a part of the cornea, corneal edema was reduced and did not progress to other parts of the cornea and corneal transparency and vision were also well-maintained during the follow-up on days 349 and 231 after the surgery. In a case where the whole cornea was edematous and cloudy, corneal edema and opacity had not clearly improved at the last follow-up on day 275 after the surgery. In conclusion, SKCAHF relieved corneal edema and improved vision, and the prognosis tended to be better when there was less corneal edema caused by CED.

Two cats were presented to the Dana Animal Hospital Eye Center and were diagnosed with corneal sequestrum through full ophthalmic examination. After lamellar keratectomy using a reusable corneal trephine blade and a crescent microsurgical knife, porcine urinary bladder submucosa extracellular matrix (UBM, ACeLL Vet^® corneal disc) was applied to the corneal defects. In both cases, no corneal sequestrum recurrences were observed until 119 days and 253 days after the surgery, respectively. Porcine UBM could be recommended as a surgical scaffold for treatment of corneal sequestrum in cats.

A corneal dermoid is a benign congenital mass usually affecting the lateral limbal region. A 3-month old male Shih Tzu dog with abnormal tissue on right cornea was referred to Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Seoul National University. On ophthalmic examination, there was no evidence of visual impairment. Slit lamp biomicroscopy assessment revealed a mass, located in the inferior and temporal part of right cornea. The lesion was typically hemispheric and covered with pink skin. Superficial keratectomy was performed to remove the mass. On histopathological examination, the lesion was diagnosed as a corneal dermoid. Four months after operation, there had been no recurrence and hair regrowth.

각막굴절교정절제술에서 각막의 절제 깊이를 Munnerlyn 식을 유도하여 계산하였다. 계산은 4 mm에서 8 mm 사이의 광학 직경과 -1 Dptr에서 -12 Dptr 사이의 교정굴절력에 대해 수행되었다. 계산결과는 Munnerlyn 근사식과 비교될 수 있는데, 낮은 교정굴절력에서는 두 식간에 오차가 없었으나, 6 Dptr 이상의 교정굴절력에서 1 Dptr의 오차가 발생하였다. 하지만 이러한 오차는 기하학적 가정에 근거한 수학적 모델에 의한 계산결과이며, 수술환경의 오차와도 비교되어야 한다.

A two-year-old, spayed female, Bichon Frise, was referred for severe corneal edema and corneal ulcer in the left eye (OS). The cornea had gradually swelled over one week after phacoemulsification performed a month prior, and that was refractory to 5% sodium chloride eye drop instillation or temporary partial tarsorrhaphy. A complete ophthalmic examination was performed. Severe corneal edema with intrastromal bullae and moderate anterior chamber flare was found on slit-lamp biomicroscopy in the OS, which obstructed the fundus examination. Corneal thickness was measured using high-resolution ultrasound biomicroscopy. The thickness of the OS cornea was 2.74 mm. The "letter-box" conjunctival flap was planned. Dorsal and ventral superficial keratectomy followed by a hood conjunctival flap was performed. Topical and systemic antibiotics and 5% sodium chloride eye drops were prescribed. Decreased corneal thickness was observed at one week, two weeks, and two months postoperatively (1.53 mm, 1.32 mm, and 0.92 mm, respectively). There were no postoperative complications, such as ocular discomfort or recurrent corneal ulcers. The "letter-box" conjunctival flap, a type of superficial keratectomy and conjunctival advancement hood flap, effectively relieved the severe irreversible corneal edema. This could be a simple but effective surgical intervention for patients with endothelial cell damage especially after phacoemulsification.

This study investigated the effects of mechanical factors involved in several corneal refractive surgeries on the surgical outcomes. Then we proposed possible new techniques from the mechanical point of a view utilizing finite element method. The models studied are: circumferential keratetomy, combination of excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy and circumferential keratotomy for myopia treatment, arcuate keratotomy for astigmatism treatment. The cornea was assumed to be nonlinear elastic and almost incompressible material as the most soft tissue in the human body. In the circumferential keratotomy the effect of the incision location was investigated. The angle and location of the incision were varied to predict the surgical outcomes in the arcuate keratotomy. The finite element analysis results showed that the location of incision was a critical factor affecting the surgical outcomes in the circumferential keratotomy. In the combination of the excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy and circumferential keratotomy, it was predicted that the circumferential can increase or decrease the refractive power depending on the incision location or it can be used to adjust the overcorrection of undercorrection. In the arcuate keratotomy for astigmatism, the most diopter changes were predicted when the location and the angle of the incision were 3.0mm from the apex and $90^{\circ}$, respectively. In the arcuate keratotomy, the effects of an incision were studied within the incision area as well as outside the incision area. Also, the arcuate keratotomy with two incisions located on the opposite area of the cornea was also studied. As a conclusion, the finite element method is a useful technique in the area of corneal refractive surgeries to develop new techinques.

VISX 엑시머레이저 굴절교정각막절제술의 경우 근시는 다영역 단연마법(Multi-zone, Single pass Ablation)으로, 근시성난시는 타원형 방식(Elliptical mode)에 의해 교정하는 원리를 채택하고 있다. VISX 20/20B $VisionKey^{TM}$ 엑시머레이저의 version 4.01 software를 이용하여 시술한 근시교정술(PRK)과 근시성난시교정술(PARK)의 임상성적에 차이가 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 1995년 3월부터 1996년 12월까지 엑시머레이저 굴절교정각막절제술을 시행하고 술후 1년까지 경과관찰이 가능했던 PRK 152안, PARK 203안을 대상으로 후향적 연구를 시행하였다. 나안시력, 교정시력, 굴절력, 안압, 각막 혼탁, 각막지형도 등을 술후 1, 3, 6 및 12개월에 검사하였으며, 모든 환자는 12개월 이상 경과 관찰하였다. 술후 1년에 나안시력이 0.7 이상인 경우가 -7D 미만의 PRK군(110안)에서 94.8%, PARK군(104안)에서 88.1%이었고, -7D 이상의 PRK군(31안)에서 86.1%, PARK군(57안)에서 67.1%이었다. 예측도가 ${\pm}1D$ 이내인 경우가 PRK 및 PARK에 따라 -7D 미만에서 97.4%, 93,2%이었고, -7D이상에서는 각각 80.6%, 70.6%이었다. 본 연구에서 종전의 보고된 연구 결과들에 비해 나안시력 개선 및 예측도 등에서 상대적으로 우수한 성적을 나타내었음을 알 수 있었다. 대부분의 근시와 근시성난시는 VISX 20/20B $VisionKey^{TM}$ 엑시머레이저를 이용하여 효과적으로 치료할 수 있었고 PARK에서도 PRK와 유사한 정도의 우수한 성적을 얻었으나, PRK에 비해 보다 정확한 중심잡기와 축정렬 등의 중의가 요망된다. 향후 멕시머레이저와 소프트웨어의 발전에 의해 두 군 모두에서 성적향상을 기대할 수 있으리라 생각된다.
