To report a patient who presented with epithelial ingrowth caused by viral keratoconjunctivitis 3 months after LASIK surgery. A 41-year-old man presented with decreased visual acuity in the right eye, which had developed about 3 weeks before. He had undergone LASIK surgery 3 months prior without complications. Two months after the surgery, he was treated for viral conjunctivitis. During the tre...

Methods This was a retrospective study using patients’ records, orthopantomographs and lateral cephalographs. F...

PURPOSE To determine the incidence and the type of flap complications in our initial series of eyes undergoing laser in situ keratomileusis and the impact of microkeratome-related complications on best spectacle-corrected visual acuity. METHODS We reviewed the charts of the 630 consecutive eyes operated in the Refractive Surgery Department of Cerrahpasa Medical School, University of Istanbul,...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ultraviolet A irradiation cross-linking on completion for cases of high myopic laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS Forty-three consecutive LASIK cases treated with femtosecond laser flap and the WaveLight excimer platform were evaluated perioperatively for uncorrected visual acuity, best correct...

Nipple-areolar complex (NAC) malposition is one of the most common complications following nipple-sparing mastectomy with implant-based reconstruction. To maximize perfusion to the NAC, traditional methods of correcting NAC malposition limit undermining below the NAC. We demonstrate a series of cases in which improvement of NAC malposition was safely performed by reelevating the NAC and mastect...
