Changes in corneal asphericity after laser in situ keratomileusis.
PURPOSE To analyze the origin of the changes in corneal asphericity (p-factor) after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and the effect of postsurgery asphericity on contrast-sensitivity function (CSF) under photopic conditions. SETTING Department of Optics, University of Granada, Granada, Spain. METHODS The p-factor and CSF (best corrected before surgery and 1, 3, and 6 months after surge...
متن کاملTraumatic corneal flap displacement after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK)
BACKGROUND Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is the most common and popular procedure performed for the correction of refractive errors in the last two decades. We report a case of traumatic flap displacement with flap folding which occurred 3 years after LASIK was performed. Previous literature suggests that vision prognosis would be closely related to proper and prompt management of trauma...
متن کاملCorneal irregular astigmatism after laser in situ keratomileusis for myopia.
AIMS To quantitatively evaluate the changes in corneal irregular astigmatism after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in relation to the amount of laser ablation. METHODS In 189 eyes of 116 patients undergoing LASIK for myopia, corneal topography was obtained before and 1 month after surgery. Using Fourier harmonic analysis of the topography data, corneal irregular astigmatism (asymmetry an...
متن کاملPenetrating keratoplasty for corneal ectasia after laser in situ keratomileusis.
PURPOSE To improve the visual acuity of patients with progressive keratectasia following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS Five eyes of four patients underwent penetrating keratoplasty for ectasia after LASIK: In one patient the second eye was operated on 10 months after the first keratoplasty. The pre- and postoperative refraction, best spectacle-corrected visual acuity, and topo...
متن کاملCorneal ectasia after laser in situ keratomileusis after laser thermal keratoplasty.
PURPOSE To report a case of corneal ectasia following hyperopic laser in situ keratomileusis in a patient who had previous laser thermal keratoplasty. METHODS Case report. RESULTS We report a case of a 66-year-old emmetropic man initially presented with complaint of difficulty reading without correction. Laser thermal keratoplasty (LTK) was performed on the non-dominant right eye, resulting...
