Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the rate of postoperative ectasia in patients who underwent LASIK with femtosecond laser flap creation, specifically focusing on those without known preoperative risk factors.
- Out of 1,992 eyes reviewed, 5 cases of ectasia were identified post-surgery; 4 showed potential signs of forme fruste keratoconus (FFKC) during retrospective analysis, while 1 had no identifiable preoperative risks.
- The overall rate of ectasia after LASIK at the center was 0.25%, with a specific rate of 5.8% for eyes with unrecognized FFKC that went on to develop ectasia.
