Interface fluid after laser in situ keratomileusis

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2001
We report a case in which raised intraocular pressure (IOP) was associated with interface fluid after uneventful bilateral laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). The patient presented with diffuse lamellar keratitis in both eyes 3 weeks postoperatively that was treated aggressively with topical corticosteroids.

Progressive Keratectasia After Laser in situ Keratomileusis

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 2004
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: We describe ten patients who developed progressive keratectasia following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and identify possible factors that may lead to ectasia. METHODS: In this retrospective study, we reviewed the files of 3,634 patients (6941 eyes) who had LASIK between March 2000 and April 2003.

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.

Thin-flap laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2008
Concerns regarding the increasing incidence of corneal ectasia following laser in situ keratomileusis procedures, together with increased understanding of the biomechanics of the cornea, has resulted in many refractive surgeons returning to surface ablation techniques such as photorefractive keratectomy.

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.

Dry Eye after Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis

Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2014
Laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is one of the most commonly performed refractive procedures with excellent visual outcomes. Dry eye syndrome is one of the most frequently seen complications after LASIK, with most patients developing at least some mild dry eye symptoms postoperatively.

Reasons patients recommend laser in situ keratomileusis

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2004
To evaluate the reasons patients who have had laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) recommend it to others and examine the disparity between high levels of satisfaction and patient reports of night-vision symptoms and/or dry eye after LASIK.Northeastern Eye Institute, Scranton, and the University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and the ...
