Reversible carotid artery narrowing in morning glory disc anomaly.

A 14-year-old boy with morning glory disc anomaly (MGDA) and normal visual and neurologic function displayed marked carotid artery narrowing on magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).

Factors influencing the need for enhancement after laser in situ keratomileusis.

Purpose: To confirm that enhancements after primary laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) are effective in dealing with residual refractive errors, and to determine if any variables prior to or during the primary LASIK procedure predisposed eyes to require subsequent enhancement.

Methods: A retrospective study of eyes undergoing primary LASIK with the VISX S2 or S3 laser and Hansatome microkeratome between January 1, 2000 and January 1, 2002 was done. Of the 393 eyes of 207 patients, 58 eyes (14%) underwent enhancement within a 16-month window of the primary procedure.
