Background: Post- Laser- assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) dry eye is one of the most common postoperative eyes after ophthalmic surgeries. Clinically, patients have positive vital staining ocular surface, decreased tear breakup times, reduced corneal sensitivity, and visual acuity. In majority patients, symptoms last about month, but some can experience these for more than a year. Case p...

This control-matched comparative study evaluated changes in contrast sensitivity after Zyoptix tissue-saving (TS) LASIK and Planoscan standard LASIK (Technolas 217z, Bausch & Lomb) for myopia 6 months postoperatively. 102 TS LASIK-treated eyes were matched with 102 standard LASIK-treated eyes (divided into low, moderate, and high groups). There were no significant differences in refraction outc...

PURPOSE To determine effectiveness of laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in the treatment of astigmatism following penetrating keratoplasty (PK). METHODS We performed a retrospective review of medical records of patients who underwent LASIK following PK and had over 1 year of follow-up data. RESULTS Twenty-six patients (26 pairs of eyes) underwent LASIK following PK. Mean age of ...

PURPOSE To compare the visual performance and optical quality after Raindrop Near Vision Inlay implantation or monovision LASIK for the correction of presbyopia. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective case-series study, patients previously treated in the nondominant eye with monovision LASIK were compared with patients previously implanted with Raindrop Near Vision Inlay. The study enrol...

OBJECTIVE To report on 4-year follow-up of corneal higher-order aberrations and daily visual functions of myopic patients after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS One hundred thirty four eyes of 67 patients who underwent LASIK guided by aspherical ablation were included in this study. The vision, corneal spherical aberration (SphA) and Coma were recorded before LASIK and at 6 month...

Objective: To compare the ocular surface changes following Femtosecond laser in situ keratomileusis (Femto-LASIK) and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). Material Methods: TThis prospective study included 74 eyes of 37 patients: 34 were Femto-LASIK group, 40 PRK group. Schirmer test, tear break-up time, conjunctival impression cytology (CIC) used to determine before 1 month, 3 months after or Fe...

OBJECTIVE To compare visual outcomes in eyes undergoing aberrometry-guided (InterWave) LASIK with those in eyes undergoing standard LASIK treatment based upon refractive measures. DESIGN Single-center, comparative, interventional, consecutive case series. PARTICIPANTS Four hundred two consecutive eyes undergoing LASIK were analyzed retrospectively. One group, 106 eyes undergoing primary LAS...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effectiveness, predictability, and safety of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for correcting residual myopia after cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation. METHODS Twenty-two eyes of 22 patients underwent LASIK for the correction of residual myopia after cataract surgery. LASIK was carried out using the Chiron Automated Corneal Shaper and the NIDEK EC-5...

PURPOSE To compare the results of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for myopia using a mixed-effects model. METHODS This comparative retrospective study was conducted in 1,127 eyes of 579 patients after LASIK and 270 eyes of 144 patients after PRK who had two or more postoperative follow-ups after 3 months. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best specta...
