The Accuracy of Flap Thickness and Diameter in LASIK Using a Femtosecond Laser.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the accuracy of LASIK flap thickness and diameter using the WaveLight FS200 femtosecond laser compared to intended measurements.
- A total of 58 subjects underwent bilateral LASIK surgery, where flap thickness was found to be closely aligned with the intended value of 120 μm, with a mean thickness of 120.6 μm and no significant difference noted.
- The findings indicate the WaveLight FS200 is effective and reliable for producing LASIK flaps at both the intended thickness and diameter.
Purpose: To evaluate prospectively the clinical outcomes of topography-guided laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery performed with Contoura Vision using the Wavelight excimer laser and planned with the Phorcides Analytical Engine.
Setting: Four clinical practices in the U.S.
Purpose: To compare short-term refractive and visual acuity outcomes after topography-guided laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) planned with a new topography analysis system to those based on the manifest refraction.
Setting: Four clinical sites in the United States.
Design: Double-arm, nonmasked, nonrandomized retrospective chart review.
Outcomes of custom laser in situ keratomileusis: dilated wavescans versus undilated wavescans.

Purpose: To evaluate refractive outcomes of custom laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) based on undilated and pharmacologically dilated wavefront aberrometry with the Visx laser system.
Setting: Clinical refractive practice, St. Louis, Missouri, USA.
Purpose: To evaluate the incidence of epithelial defects in patients who have had laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery with the standard compression Hansatome microkeratome head in comparison to the modified (zero-compression) Hansatome microkeratome head (Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, NY).
Methods: This study was a retrospective review of 404 consecutive patients who had LASIK surgery on both eyes between January 2002 and June 2002. The standard compression microkeratome head was used in 216 (53%) cases and the zero-compression microkeratome head was used in 188 (47%) cases.
