LASIK Surgery

AORN Journal, 2000
ABSTRACTThe laser in situ keratomileusis (ie, LASIK) procedure reshapes the surface of the cornea to focus visual images directly onto the retina, thereby improving visual acuity. In 1998, approximately 420,000 LASIK procedures were performed in the United States, and approximately two million people throughout the world already are benefiting from the

Astigmatism and LASIK

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.

Epi-LASIK After Amputation of a LASIK Flap

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 2006
ABSTRACT 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 ...

LASIK After Epikeratophakia

Cornea, 2003
To present a case of successful laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) performed on a patient with residual hyperopic astigmatism and symptomatic anisometropia after previous epikeratoplasty (epikeratophakia).LASIK was used successfully to treat hyperopic astigmatism after regression of epikeratophakia performed 16 years earlier.Visual acuity improved to

Corneal Topography in LASIK

Seminars in Ophthalmology, 1998
Corneal topography plays an important role in laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Preoperative screening permits the detection of keratoconus and other corneal shape anomalies that may be a contraindication for refractive surgery. Monitoring the progress of the surgical outcome with topography is helpful to detect postoperative complications such as ...
