The effect of flap thickness on corneal biomechanics after myopic laser in situ keratomileusis using the M-2 microkeratome
Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of flap thickness on corneal biomechanics after myopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Methods This is a prospective controlled non-randomized, institutional study. Patients underwent either epi-LASIK with mitomycin (advanced surface ablation [ASA]), thin-flap LASIK (90 µm head), or thick-flap LASIK (130 µm head). In ASA, the...

PURPOSE To determine the effect of different blades on laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) flap thickness created with the Amadeus I microkeratome (Ziemer Ophthalmic Systems). SETTING Emory University Department of Ophthalmology and Emory Vision, Atlanta, Georgia, USA. METHODS This retrospective nonrandomized comparative case study from January 2005 through June 2006 compared LASIK flap th...
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 کاملNoncontact measurements of central corneal epithelial and flap thickness after laser in situ keratomileusis.
PURPOSE To investigate the changes in the epithelium and flap after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), when measured with optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS Twenty-eight eyes of 14 patients (age: 39.9 +/- 8.6 years) underwent LASIK. The central thickness of corneal epithelium and flap were measured with a real-time 1310 nm OCT 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month after surgery. A custom sof...
متن کاملEffect of lamellar flap location on corneal topography after laser in situ keratomileusis.
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of hinge position on corneal topography after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for myopia. SETTING Academic center and refractive surgery practice. METHODS Topography data obtained from 89 eyes of 46 patients after LASIK were analyzed. Using a system of Cartesian coordinates, data along the horizontal and vertical axes were analyzed, measuring sagittal ...
