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.

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

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 ...

Results of pediatric laser in situ keratomileusis

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2000
To evaluate the results of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for uniocular high myopia in pediatric eyes.Dr. Agarwal's Eye Hospital, Chennai (Madras), India.Sixteen eyes that were treated by LASIK for uniocular high myopia were retrospectively analyzed. The mean patient age was 8.4 years +/- 1.83 (SD) (range 5 to 11 years).

Stereoacuity Changes after Laser In Situ Keratomileusis

Optometry and Vision Science, 2015
To study changes in near and distance stereoacuity after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).A prospective interventional study was conducted at an apex tertiary care ophthalmology center in India. Near and distance stereoacuity was tested in 40 patients (80 eyes) who underwent LASIK for myopic correction and got unaided vision of 0.67 or better in ...

Laser in situ Keratomileusis vs. Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis (LASIK vs. LASEK)

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 2001
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To compare results of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) for the treatment of myopia. METHODS: Two groups of fifteen patients (30 eyes) each were assigned to either the LASLK group or the LASEK group.

Corneal perforation during laser in situ keratomileusis

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1999
Two cases of corneal perforation that occurred during laser ablation but not during flap formation in laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) are reported. In the first case, no problem in flap formation occurred, and stromal bed thickness was assumed to be about 239 microns after laser application.
