Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) to correct myopia or myopic astigmatism using the Amaris 750S 750 Hz excimer laser.
Setting: Private LASIK center, Tokyo, Japan.
Design: Case series.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares the occurrence of diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) after LASIK surgery using two different femtosecond lasers: Femto LDV and IntraLase FS60.
- A total of 818 myopic eyes were analyzed, with 8.17% of the Femto LDV group experiencing DLK compared to a much higher 37.5% in the IntraLase FS60 group, indicating a significant difference in DLK rates.
- Both laser types resulted in excellent visual outcomes, and any observed DLK cases were low and resolved quickly, concluding that both lasers are effective for flap creation in LASIK with no major clinical differences.
Purpose: To evaluate the add-on effect of static cyclotorsion compensation (SCC) over dynamic cyclotorsion compensation (DCC) on the refractive and visual outcomes in patients having laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for myopic astigmatism.
Setting: Private center, Tokyo, Japan.
Design: Comparative study.
Purpose: To evaluate risk factors, management, and outcomes in patients who experienced suction loss during LASIK flap creation with a femtosecond laser (Intra-Lase FS 60, Abbott Medical Optics Inc).
Methods: Pre- and postoperative visual outcomes and refractions for 71 eyes of 70 patients after suction loss during flap creation with the IntraLase FS60 femtosecond laser were analyzed and studied.
Results: In patients requiring a second or third lamellar flap cut immediately after suction loss, 97.
