PURPOSE To evaluate the degree of static and dynamic cyclotorsion using a rotational eye tracker in laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) to correct myopic astigmatism. SETTING Rothschild Foundation, Paris, France. DESIGN Cohort study. METHODS Laser in situ keratomileusis with active iris registration using a Zyoptix 100 Hz excimer laser with Advanced Control Eyetracking was performed in e...

PURPOSE To compare femtosecond laser-assisted sub-Bowman keratomileusis (FSBK) versus laser-assisted subepithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) to correct moderate to high myopic astigmatism. METHODS Retrospective, nonrandomized, interventional, comparative case series. A total of eight hundred and fifty-two eyes with myopic astigmatism of -1.5 diopters (D) or higher were included in the study. We ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the optical quality after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) or serial photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) using a double-pass system and to follow the recovery of optical quality after laser vision correction. METHODS This study measured the visual acuity, manifest refraction and optical quality before and one day, one week, one month, and three months after laser vision ...

PURPOSE Identify ideal profiles in patients undergoing to photorefractive laser surgery with the aid of an automated pupillometry and psychometric analysis of patients with visual function questionnaire (VQF 25). METHODS Seventy-seven patients undergoing photorefractive laser surgery laser (LASIK) were analyzed with the aid of an automated digital pupillometer based on an infrared camera coup...

Journal of Refractive Surgery Volume 17 May/June 2001 ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To review the etiology, prevention, and management of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) complications. METHODS: Review of literature and the experience of the authors. RESULTS: Careful preoperative screening is critical to prevention of many potential complications of LASIK. Flap complications that occur during surgery a...
