Abstract

SE DESCRIBE UN METODO NO INVASIVO PARA LLEVAR A CABO UNA RECONFORMACION CONTROLADA Y PRECISA DE LA SUPERFICIE ANTERIOR DE LA CORNEA PARA CORREGIR LOS ERRORES REFRACTIVOS OCULARES TALES COMO LA MIOPIA (CORTEDAD DE VISTA), LA HIPERMETROPIA Y EL ASTIGMATISMO. EN LA INVENCION SE UTILIZA UNA FUENTE LUMINOSA QUE EMITE UNA LONGITUD DE ONDA O LONGITUDES DE ONDA CON UNA O UNAS PROFUNDIDADES DE PENETRACION OPTICA CORRECTAS PARA INDUCIR CAMBIOS EN EL COLAGENO ESTROMAL DE LA CORNEA SIN DAÑAR AL ENDOTELIO DE LA CORNEA, JUNTO CON UNA FUENTE DE SUMINISTRO DE LUZ Y UN ELEMENTO DE CONTROL PARA PRODUCIR LA IRRADIACION, EL TIEMPO DE EXPOSICION Y EL MODELO GEOMETRICO REQUERIDOS, PARA LOGRAR EL CAMBIO DESEADO EN LA FORMA DE LA CORNEA. LA FORMA DE LA CORNEA SE COMPRUEBA ANTES, DURANTE Y DESPUES DEL PROCEDIMIENTO MEDIANTE UN SISTEMA DE TOPOGRAFIA DE LA CORNEA. SE LLEVA A CABO UN ENFRIAMIENTO DE LA SUPERFICIE ANTERIOR DE LA CORNEA MEDIANTE UN DISIPADOR TERMICO TRANSPARENTE PARA PREVENIR DAÑOS EN EL EPITELIO Y EN LA CAPA DE BOWMAN.
