Rescue of Primary Incomplete Microkeratome Flap with Secondary Femtosecond Laser Flap in LASIK
For laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) retreatments with a previous unsuccessful mechanical microkeratome-assisted surgery, some surgical protocols have been described as feasible, such as relifting of the flap or the creation of a new flap and even the change to a surface ablation procedure (photorefractive keratectomy (PRK)). This case shows the use of femtosecond technology for th...
متن کاملSevere Diffuse Lamellar Keratitis Following Laser in Situ Keratomileusis with an Iatrogenic Double Flap
We present a case of an iatrogenic double flap created during laser in situ keratomileusis using a femtosecond laser microkeratome that resulted in development of severe diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK). The DLK occurred mainly in the second interface, made by the spatula accidentally and not exposed to femtosecond or excimer lasers. Because of differences in the severity of the interface infla...
متن کاملIn vivo structural characteristics of the femtosecond LASIK-induced opaque bubble layers with ultrahigh-resolution SD-OCT.
The authors report in vivo morphology of opaque bubble layers with ultrahigh-resolution anterior-segment optical coherence tomography (UHR-OCT) in 3 patients. Two patients were operated on with a 30-kHz IntraLase femtosecond laser (Abbott Medical Optics, Abbott Park, IL) and one patient was operated on with a 500-kHz VisuMax femtosecond laser (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany). UHR-OCT images ...
متن کاملFemtosecond Laser-Assisted LASIK Flap Complications.
PURPOSE To discuss intraoperative and postoperative femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK flap complications and their management. METHODS Review of published literature. RESULTS Flap creation is a critical step in LASIK. The femtosecond laser has improved the overall predictability and safety of the lamellar incision, but complications can still occur during or after flap creation. Although man...
متن کاملComparison of laser in situ keratomileusis flaps created by 3 femtosecond lasers and a microkeratome.
PURPOSE To evaluate the thickness and side-cut angle of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) flaps created by 1 of 3 femtosecond lasers or a microkeratome using Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Institute of Vision Research, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea. DESIGN Comparative case series. METHODS Flap creation for b...
