Effects of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) on corneal biomechanical measurements with the Corvis ST tonometer
PURPOSE This study was initiated to evaluate biomechanical changes using the Corvis ST tonometer (CST) on the cornea after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). SETTING University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Germany, and Care Vision Refractive Centers, Germany. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. METHODS This retrospective study included 37 eyes of 37 refractive patients. All CST mea...
متن کاملChanges in corneal asphericity after laser in situ keratomileusis.
PURPOSE To analyze the origin of the changes in corneal asphericity (p-factor) after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and the effect of postsurgery asphericity on contrast-sensitivity function (CSF) under photopic conditions. SETTING Department of Optics, University of Granada, Granada, Spain. METHODS The p-factor and CSF (best corrected before surgery and 1, 3, and 6 months after surge...
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 کاملCorneal ectasia induced by laser in situ keratomileusis.
PURPOSE To identify factors that can lead to corneal ectasia after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). SETTING University refractive surgery center. METHODS In this retrospective study, the charts of all patients (2873 eyes) who had LASIK between May 1995 and November 1999 were reviewed. Fourteen patients (19 eyes, 0.66%) developed post-LASIK ectasia. The mean follow-up was 16.32 months (...
متن کاملCorneal irregular astigmatism after laser in situ keratomileusis for myopia.
AIMS To quantitatively evaluate the changes in corneal irregular astigmatism after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in relation to the amount of laser ablation. METHODS In 189 eyes of 116 patients undergoing LASIK for myopia, corneal topography was obtained before and 1 month after surgery. Using Fourier harmonic analysis of the topography data, corneal irregular astigmatism (asymmetry an...
