Subclinical inflammation after laser in situ keratomileusis

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1998
To determine whether laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for the correction of myopia induces an anterior chamber inflammatory response measurable with laser flare-cell photometry.Instituto Oftalmológico de Alicante, University of Alicante. Alicante, Spain.Twenty eyes in 20 patients had LASIK to correct myopia ranging from 2.50 to 15.00 diopters (D ...

Laser in situ Keratomileusis After Penetrating Keratoplasty

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 2000
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To determine the safety, efficacy, predictability, and stability of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) to correct myopia and myopic astigmatism in eyes with prior penetrating keratoplasty. METHODS: Eight eyes of 8 patients with penetrating keratoplasty had significant postoperative refractive error.

Delayed keratitis after laser in situ keratomileusis

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2000
We report 2 cases of delayed keratitis that occurred after uneventful laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). The first patient presented with a peripheral corneal infiltrate 3 months after a LASIK enhancement procedure. The infiltrate progressed despite treatment with topical combination tobramycin-dexamethasone.

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.

Reoperations after myopic laser in situ keratomileusis

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2000
To evaluate the results after enhancement of myopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) using the VISX Star excimer laser.The Buzard Eye Institute, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.In this prospective study, 52 eyes of 40 patients had LASIK enhancement. The existing flap was lifted and the excimer laser treatment reapplied for the residual refractive error. The

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.

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.
