ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To review the indications, techniques, and results of retreatment LASIK. METHODS: Review of the literature and the authors' experience. RESULTS: Patient selection is the key to successful LASIK enhancement. The enhancement procedure should generally be undertaken 3 months after the initial LASIK procedure.

ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To investigate the refractive results and corneal pachymetric changes after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with an inferior hinge. METHODS: Forty-six eyes of 23 patients who underwent LASIK with an inferior hinge were involved in this prospective study.

Keratomileusis, brainchild of Jose I. Barraquer Moner, was conceived and developed as the first stromal sculpting method to correct refractive error in 1948. The word “keratomileusis” literally means “sculpting” of the “cornea.” Barraquer’s first procedures involved freezing a disc of anterior corneal tissue before removing stromal tissue with a lathe.

As the field of refractive surgery continues to evolve, an increasing number of surgical options are available for LASIK enhancements. Nonetheless, older methods such as AK continue to play an important role in enhancement procedures. Improvements in instruments and techniques allow for previously made LASIK flaps to be safely lifted for additional ...

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2002
Although laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) enjoys a high success rate, postoperative residual or induced astigmatism may limit uncorrected visual acuity and cause starbursts and glare at night. Irregular astigmatism can also cause loss of best-corrected visual acuity, monocular diplopia, and ghosting of images.

Modern lamellar refractive surgery has its roots in the pioneer work of Professor Jose Ignacio Barraquer of Colombia. In 1949, Barraquer suggested that by adding or removing corneal tissue, it was possible to manipulate surgically the curvature of the air/tear film interface, where the two thirds of the refractive power of the eye is located (1).

Epi-LASIK After Amputation of a LASIK Flap
Journal of Refractive Surgery, 2006ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To demonstrate the feasibility of performing epi-LASIK after amputation of a LASIK flap. METHODS: Three months following complicated primary LASIK and immediate flap amputation, a Lasitome microkeratome (Gebauer, Neuhausen, Germany), equipped with an epi-head and -blade, was used to perform an epi-LASIK surface ...
