متن کاملConfocal microscopy of corneal flap microfolds after LASIK.
PURPOSE To describe the morphological characteristics of microfolds that appear at the corneal flap after LASIK, as seen under confocal microscopy. METHODS Twenty-one eyes that had undergone LASIK were examined, all within 3 weeks to 1 month after surgery.

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...
