Abstract

This chapter discusses corneoplastique. Corneoplastique is the individual or combined use of amniotic membranes, glue, lamellar cornea, synthetics, and finally the Excimer laser as a sculpting tool towards an effort to perfect vision. Corneoplastique includes all forms of laser vision surgery itself. Corneal surgical experience and knowledge will in all probability enhance the ability of a Laser Vision Surgeon to better select the candidacy of their patients, prevent complications and also prepare them to react in an efficient manner towards any inadequate outcomes. Indications for Corneoplastique are corneal scars, pterygiums, previous surgeries, LASIK and laser vision surgery complications, and corneal degenerations or dystrophies. Corneoplastique in action is explained.
