Late onset bilateral annular subepithelial corneal haze after LASIK [PDF]
Purpose: Corneal haze is uncommon after laser assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Post-LASIK haze and scarring can develop due to different conditions such as infectious keratitis, LASIK flap complications, diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK), corneal ...

Comparison of corneal biomechanics after SMILE versus LASEK in moderate to high myopia with relatively thin corneas: a retrospective comparative study [PDF]
Background This study aimed to compare the 2-year refractive outcomes and corneal biomechanical changes after Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) versus Laser-Assisted Subepithelial Keratectomy (LASEK) in patients with moderate to high myopia ...

Amniotic Membrane in Excimer Laser Surface Ablation (ELSA): Mechanisms for Haze Prevention and Broader Ocular Surface Optimisation [PDF]
Subepithelial corneal haze remains a clinical risk after excimer laser-based surface ablation (ELSA), especially with deep ablations, high myopia or retreatments, with downstream effects on vision and quality of life.

Severe Corneal Morphological Alterations after Excimer Laser Surface Ablation for a High Astigmatism
We report long-term alterations of anterior corneal stroma after excimer laser surface ablation for a high astigmatism. The patient claimed progressive visual loss in his right eye (RE) during the last 3 years after bilateral laser-assisted subepithelial

A pilot study: LASEK with the Triple-A profile of a MEL 90 for mild and moderate myopia
Background To investigate the visual and refractive outcomes in patients with mild to moderate myopia after laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy (LASEK) using the 500 Hz pulse rate of the Triple-A profile. Methods Thirty-six eyes of 20 patients (mean

Keratectasia after laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy for myopia
Recently, some ophthalmologists performed PRK or LASEK surgeries in FFKC suspicious patients, which is supposed to prevent FFKC evolvement via fibrotic scar formation. Our report indicates that keratectasia can occur after LASEK in FFKC suspicious patients, highlighting the importance of stricter regulation of patient recruitment before the procedure ...

Alcohol- vs Hypertonic Saline–Assisted Laser-Assisted Subepithelial Keratectomy [PDF]
To evaluate the predictability and safety of hypertonic saline (5% sodium chloride) [correction]-assisted laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy (HS-LASEK) vs 20% alcohol-assisted LASEK (A-LASEK).American Laser Medical Center, Rishon Le-Zion, Israel.Fifty-two consecutive eyes (26 patients) were randomized to HS-LASEK (30 eyes) and A-LASEK (22 eyes ...

Re-Evaluation of the Safety of Laser-Assisted Subepithelial Keratectomy
Purpose: Additional analyses of outcomes of laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy (LASEK) are still necessary to improve the safety of LASEK. Therefore, in our study, outcomes were assessed retrospectively in 561 eyes that underwent LASEK treatment.
