| titleOfInvention | Method of non-incisional vision enhancement of postoperative incisional keratorefractive surgery of the cornea |
| abstract | A method of reopening healing or healed corneal incision lines by applying pressure to the front surface of the cornea and thereby creating a physical shearing force on cornea incision lines which tear the incision lines open. A blunt micro-ophthalmic probe is used, and does not encroach upon the deep base of the original corneal incision cavity. The blunt probe does not cut or incise any virgin, healthy cornea tissue or remove any healing connective tissue from within the cavity of the original corneal incision. Each time that the healing or healed incision line is reopened, the body secretes additional healing connective tissue which is added to or coats the original connective tissue wedge of wound "healing tissue" inside of the corneal cavity of the original keratorefractive incision. The thicker that the wedge of connective tissue between the walls of the incision line becomes, the more the walls of the original corneal incision line are physically separated by this connective tissue wedge. By repeatedly reopening the original keratorefractive incision line, an increased thickness in the connective tissue wedge may be slowly produced in a titrated fashion. As we progressively separate the original walls of the corneal incision lines, a progressive steepening of the peripheral cornea with a concomitant progressive flattening of the central cornea is induced. Likewise, a progressive decrease in corneal astigmatism may be induced. In this way, we may repeat this procedure until we have effectively neutralized the overall optical refractive error of the eye and thereby minimize or even eliminate the need for eyeglass or contact lens wear. |
