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 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 کاملLaser Flap Creation Yielded Better LASIK Outcomes Versus Microkeratome
Merck & Co., Inc. (Whitehouse Station, NJ), announced that it has successfully completed its $430 million acquisition of Inspire Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Raleigh, NC). The cash tender offer for all outstanding shares (75.4%) of common stock of Inspire was completed by Monarch Transaction Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Merck. The deal, announced in February 2011, allows Merck to expand its op...
متن کاملFemtosecond laser versus mechanical microkeratome-assisted flap creation for LASIK: a prospective, randomized, paired-eye study
PURPOSE To compare a femtosecond laser with a microkeratome for flap creation during laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in terms of flap thickness predictability and visual outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a prospective, randomized, masked, paired-eye study. Forty-four patients (34 females) who received bilateral LASIK were included. Patients were stratified by ocular dominance, and ...
متن کاملConfocal microscopy of a femtosecond laser LASIK flap before separation.
PURPOSE To describe stromal changes after a femtosecond laser laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) flap was created but not separated. DESIGN Case report. METHODS As part of a randomized paired-eye study comparing LASIK flap creation by a femtosecond laser to a mechanical microkeratome, a femtosecond laser flap was successfully created on one eye of one patient, but the flap was no...
