Microkeratome blades and corneal flap thickness in LASIK.
Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging
January 2009
Background And Objective: To determine the corneal flap thickness produced by using two different types of blades on the same microkeratome for LASIK, comparing flap thickness in the first and second eyes.
Patients And Methods: The corneal flap thickness was measured in two sets of 100 consecutive patients undergoing bilateral LASIK procedures using the Moria M2 microkeratome with a 110 head (Moria, France) and either Moria or CLB blades (Med-Logics Inc., Laguna Hills, CA).
Background And Objective: To investigate inaccuracy and variability in residual stromal thickness estimation in LASIK by pachymetry and measurements of corneal thickness, flap thickness, and ablation depth.
Patients And Methods: In 73 eyes of 37 patients, preoperative and postoperative corneal thicknesses were obtained with slit-scanning elevation topography and the ultrasound pachymeter. LASIK was performed and corneal flaps were created with a microkeratome.
Purpose: To describe a series of cases (Elevated Intraocular Pressure Induced Interlamellar Stromal Keratitis (PISK)) that appears to be identical to post-laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK), but was present at a later time frame and was associated with a significant elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP). Unlike DLK, this syndrome is not steroid responsive, but resolves with a lowering of the IOP.
Design: Retrospective, noncomparative, small case series.
