Complications of laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2021 Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is one of the most commonly performed kerato-refractive surgery globally. Since its introduction in 1990, there has been a constant evolution in its technology to improve the visual outcome. The safety, efficacy, and predictability of LASIK are well known, but complications with this procedure, although ...

Femtosecond laser in laser in situ keratomileusis [PDF]
Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2010 Flap creation is a critical step in laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Efforts to improve the safety and predictability of the lamellar incision have fostered the development of femtosecond lasers. Several advantages of the femtosecond laser over mechanical microkeratomes have been reported in LASIK surgery.

Epiretinal Membrane after Laser In Situ Keratomileusis [PDF]
Case Reports in Ophthalmological Medicine, 2013 Multiple posterior segment complications can occur after LASIK. Posterior vitreous detachment, macular holes, retinal hemorrhages, retinal detachment, and several other complications have been described. A case of posterior vitreous detachment with epiretinal membrane in a young adult after LASIK is reported.

Complications of laser-in-situ-keratomileusis.
Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2002 Laser-in-situ-keratomileusis (LASIK) has become a popular technique of refractive surgery because of lower postoperative discomfort, early visual rehabilitation and decreased postoperative haze. Compared to photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), LASIK involves an additional procedure of creating a corneal flap.

Effects of Laser In Situ Keratomileusis on the Corneal Endothelium
The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2005 The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) on the corneal endothelium. In a prospective study, the corneal endothelium of 87 eyes (45 patients) was examined before and 1 month after LASIK. Patients were divided into two groups: people who wear contact lenses (48 eyes) and people who had never worn ...

Laser in situ keratomileusis for hyperopia
Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1998To evaluate the results of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) to treat hyperopia.Instituto de la Vision, Buenos Aires, Argentina.This nonrandomized study comprised 679 eyes of 321 patients having LASIK. Patients were divided into three groups based on preoperative spherical equivalent: Group A (low hyperopia, 2.00 diopters [D] or less); Group B ...

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 1990
AbstractA new laser refractive procedure is being developed in a rabbit model. With a modified microkeratome, central corneal flaps were created. An ArF excimer laser was used to produce 3‐mm‐diameter circular ablations on the central part of the exposed stromal bed.

Laser in situ Keratomileusis for Hyperopia
Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1997ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To study the efficacy of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for hyperopia. METHODS: We performed LASIK on 21 eyes using the Nidek EC-5000 excimer laser with software version 2.18 AH. The Chiron Automated Corneal Shaper was used to create the flap.
