LASIK: Early Postoperative Complications

2008
Infection after LASIK surgery, although rare, may cause significant visual loss. Infections presenting early after LASIK (with in 1 week) are commonly caused by gram-positive organisms, whereas delayed onset infections (presenting 2–3 weeks after LASIK) are commonly caused by atypical mycobacteria.

Femtosecond-assisted LASIK

International Ophthalmology Clinics, 2016
FS-assisted LASIK has become the preferred method for LASIK flap creation due to the precision, accuracy, and reproducibility of the flap creation. Thinner, planar flaps may help prevent cases of post-LASIK ectasia and may have a superior refractive outcome.

LASIK: Intraoperative (Flap) Complications

2008
A thin, irregular, or buttonhole flap is a significant complication of lamellar surgery that typically calls for aborting the case. Thin, irregular or buttonhole flaps can occur with all keratomes, including the new femtosecond devices. The cause of a thin, irregular, or buttonhole flap is often unclear and can be multifactorial.

LASIK: Late Postoperative Complications

2008
Dry eye is the most common early and late postoperative complication after LASIK surgery. LASIK-induced dry eye is caused by a combination of decreased corneal innervation and chronic ocular surface inflammation. LASIK-induced dry eye is manifested clinically by the presence of fluctuation in visual acuity, punctate epithelial erosions, and ...

Microkeratome LASIK Intraoperative Complications

2016
The ideal lasik flap should fulfill the following anatomical qualities:1. Large enough to cover the ablation zone and safety margins2. Small enough not to involve limbal stem cells and vessels3. Thick enough to allow proper lifting and repositioning without tearing or folding4. Thin enough to save on stromal tissue and strength5.

[Complication cascade after hyperopic LASIK].

Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2012
This report concerns the case of a 28-year-old female patient who was treated with topical steroids for 2 years following complicated hyperopic LASIK surgery with a re-treatment including a re-lift of the flap. A steroid-induced rise in the intraocular pressure (IOP) was subsequently observed on the treated eye, together with a glaucomatous subtotal ...
