Postoperative complications in laser in situ keratomileusis

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2000
Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) has become the most common procedure to correct refractive errors in North America. Increasing numbers of patients and surgeons are choosing LASIK in the management of low and moderate myopia, astigmatism, and hyperopia. LASIK presents a unique group of postoperative challenges and complications.

Excimer Laser In Situ Keratomileusis for Myopia

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1995
ABSTRACT Excimer laser in situ keratomileusis was done in 97 eyes of 59 patients to correct moderate and high myopia. Mean follow-up was 150 days. Mean preoperative myopia was -10.75 diopters (D). Mean reduction in myopia was -11.281D (106.98%) at 1 month and -10.37 D (98.417%) at 3 months.

Effect of laser in situ keratomileusis on accommodation

Journal of Huazhong University of Science and Technology [Medical Sciences], 2008
The accommodative function before and after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) was observed, and the effect of LASIk on accommodation was investigated. In a prospective clinical trial, 48 myopic patients (96 eyes) subject to bilateral LASIK in Refractive Surgery Center, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and ...

Laser in situ Keratomileusis for Myopia

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1998
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for myopia. METHODS: We performed LASIK on 55 eyes using the Nidek EC-5000 excimer laser. We altered the PRK algorithms to make them appropriate for LASIK. The Chiron automated corneal shaper was used to create the flap. RESULTS: A high rate

Excimer Laser in situ Keratomileusis for Myopia

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1997
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and predictability of excimer laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for the correction of myopia. METHODS: Forty-six consecutive eyes that had LASIK with the VISX 20/20B laser and Chiron corneal shaper were evaluated. Mean spherical equivalent of the preoperative manifest refraction

Ectasia after laser in situ keratomileusis

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2003
Eighty-five cases of post laser in situ keratomileusis ectasia were reviewed and analyzed. Cases of keratoconus or forme fruste keratoconus were eliminated; many remaining case reports lacked key information. The current literature is unable to define a specific residual corneal thickness or a range of preoperative corneal thickness that would put an ...
