Atopy: a patient-specific risk factor for diffuse lamellar keratitis
To identify whether atopy is a patient-specific risk factor for the development of diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).Retrospective survey study.Three hundred sixty consecutive patients who underwent same-day bilateral myopic astigmatic primary LASIK procedures during March 1, 2000, through July 31, 2000.We ...

Late-onset diffuse lamellar keratitis
Japanese Journal of Ophthalmology, 2003Diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) is marked by the presence of diffuse or multifocal infiltrates confined to the laser in situ keratomileusis(LASIK) interface. These infiltrates are culture-negative, and the etiology is thought to be noninfectious. Most cases of DLK occur within the first week or two following surgery.We describe two cases of diffuse ...

Diffuse lamellar keratitis: Diagnosis and management
With the volume of laser in situ keratomileusis procedures growing exponentially, ophthalmologists and other eye-care providers are becoming aware of an uncommon postoperative condition, diffuse lamellar keratitis, that can affect an otherwise ideal outcome. We present our strategy for diagnosing and managing this syndrome, developed from experience in

Ocular Wavefront Aberrations in Patients After Diffuse Lamellar Keratitis
To study ocular wavefront aberrations after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in patients who developed diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK).A case-control evaluation of 47 patients with DLK and 30 uneventful LASIK-operated controls. Measurements of visual acuities, cycloplegic refraction, eye's wave aberrations using a LADARWAVE aberrometer (up to ...

Diffuse Lamellar Keratitis (DLK)
DLK is an early postoperative complication appearing as an inflammatory response initially in the corneal stroma followed by the flap interface. Occurrence is infrequent. Postoperative examination at 1 day after the LASIK procedure is usually diagnostic. Careful cleaning techniques and avoidance of contaminants may reduce outbreaks.

Diffuse lamellar keratitis A new syndrome in lamellar refractive surgery
Ophthalmology, 1998This study aimed to describe a syndrome that the authors call diffuse lamellar keratitis that follows laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and related lamellar corneal surgery.Noncomparative case series and record review.Thirteen eyes of 12 patients in whom infiltrates developed in the interface after lamellar refractive surgery were studied.Topical ...

Cleaning Solutions as a Cause of Diffuse Lamellar Keratitis
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To assess the capability of two microkeratome cleaning solutions in causing diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) in a rabbit model of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS: Two cleaning solutions (Palmolive 2:100 and Cidezyme 2:250) were tested. These solutions were diluted with balanced salt solution according
