Keratectasia induced by laser in situ keratomileusis in keratoconus.
PURPOSE Corneal thinning disorders weaken the mechanical strength of affected corneas, suggesting that photorefractive procedures may be contraindicated in keratoconus. Few cases have been reported to confirm this hypothesis. METHODS A 45-year-old man had two laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) procedures and one photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) performed on his left eye, and three LASIK pr...
متن کاملCorneal Collagen Crosslinking for Keratectasia after Laser in situ Keratomileusis: A Review of the Literature
Corneal ectasia is a serious vision-threatening complication of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). It is associated with progressive corneal steepening, an increase in myopia and astigmatism, and decrease in uncorrected visual acuity. Before LASIK presence of risk factors (corneal thickness, refractive error, presence of clinical and subclinical corneal pathologies) should be studied so pati...

trations after oral dosing. The infection was successfully eradicated with preservation of ambulatory vision. This first case of postoperative VRE endophthalmitis is an unfortunate milestone in ophthalmic surgery. Future cases are probably inevitable given the trends in the epidemiology of VRE infection and colonization, especially in patients with compromised immunity. Colonized donor corneal ...
متن کاملCataractogenesis after Repeat Laser in situ Keratomileusis
There has been the unsubstantiated clinical impression that laser refractive surgery accelerates cataract development along with solid experimental data about the cataractogenic effects of excimer laser treatment. We present the first documented case of significant cataract formation in a young myope after repeat excimer laser ablation necessitating phacoemulsification with a posterior chamber ...
متن کاملEpiretinal Membrane after Laser In Situ Keratomileusis
Multiple posterior segment complications can occur after LASIK. Posterior vitreous detachment, macular holes, retinal hemorrhages, retinal detachment, and several other complications have been described. A case of posterior vitreous detachment with epiretinal membrane in a young adult after LASIK is reported. LASIK surgeons must be aware of the possibility of posterior segment complications aft...
