Evaluation of the risk of corneal ectasia
Objective: LASIK is associated with a severe complication known as corneal ectasia. A direct evaluation of the biomechanical corneal property may be performed to select patients for excimer laser surgery. Methods: Detection of the biomechanical corneal properties was performed using a specific device known to produce short intraocular pressure elevation (IOP) at approximately 20 mm Hg. The corn...
متن کاملRisk Factors in Post-LASIK Corneal Ectasia
Purpose. To evaluate the risk factors for post-laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) ectasia. Materials and Methods. Medical records of 42 eyes of 28 (10 women, 18 men) patients who developed corneal ectasia after LASIK were retrospectively reviewed. Topographical features and surgical parameters of those patients were evaluated. Results. The mean age of patients was 34.73 ± 6.50 (23-48) years a...
متن کاملEctasia risk factors in refractive surgery.
This review outlines risk factors of post-laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) ectasia that can be detected preoperatively and presents a new metric to be considered in the detection of ectasia risk. Relevant factors in refractive surgery screening include the analysis of intrinsic biomechanical properties (information obtained from corneal topography/tomography and patient's age), as well as t...
متن کاملComputational Biomechanical Analysis of Asymmetric Ectasia Risk in Unilateral Post-LASIK Ectasia.
PURPOSE To develop a computational approach to corneal biomechanical risk analysis in refractive surgery and to investigate its utility in an enigmatic case of unilateral ectasia after bilateral LASIK. METHODS Preoperative corneal elevation datasets from both eyes of a patient who developed unilateral post-LASIK ectasia were used to construct geometrically patient-specific, microstructurally ...
