Laser in situ Keratomileusis Interface Deposits

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1998
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: A clinical investigation was undertaken to determine the origin of a brown interface deposit that developed in 15 eyes after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASEK). METHODS: The LASBK procedure was evaluated and agents that were thought to be related to these brown deposits in the interface were eliminated ...

Iatrogenic Keratectasia Following Laser in situ Keratomileusis

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 2002
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To evaluate keratectasia after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for high myopia. METHODS: A 49-year-old male patient with myopia of -23.50 D in both eyes underwent LASIK with a Summit Technology Apex Plus excimer laser. A Moria manually-guided MDSC microkeratome was used. Preoperative corneal topography in both

Choroidal Neovascularization Following Laser In situ Keratomileusis

Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 2004
Abstract. Two cases of choroidal neovascularization occurring after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) are presented from two separate centers. In the first case, an extrafoveal choroidal neovascular membrane, apparently associated with age-related macular degeneration, occurred 3 months after a LASIK procedure was performed on a 64-year-old man with

Excimer Laser in Situ Keratomileusis

Seminars in Ophthalmology, 1996
Excimer laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is the most recent evolution of the family of lamellar refractive surgery, which includes keratophakia, freeze myopic keratomileusis, epikeratoplasty, keratomileusis in situ, and Buratto-style excimer laser keratomileusis.
