Article Synopsis
- LASIK surgery can cause temporary dry eye due to nerve damage, but this study investigates long-term ocular surface changes, blinking rates, and meibomian gland health in post-LASIK patients at least 48 months post-surgery.
- The study involved 48 post-LASIK patients and 48 matched healthy controls, assessing clinical findings and imaging related to eye health.
- Findings showed that post-LASIK patients had lower meibum quality, reduced tear production, and high chronic dry eye symptom prevalence, indicating the need for thorough evaluations and treatments for affected patients.

Article Synopsis
- Celiac disease (CeD) is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, affecting about 1 in 133 people worldwide, and is often undiagnosed due to its diverse symptoms.
- The paper reviews the literature on the eye-related issues (ophthalmic manifestations) associated with CeD and offers initial guidelines for patients considering elective corneal refractive surgery (CRS).
- Findings indicate that CeD can lead to unique eye problems, such as low endothelial cell density and dryness from vitamin A deficiency, which can complicate the evaluation and outcomes of CRS, emphasizing the need for personalized assessments for affected patients.
Purpose: To assess the long-term (1-year) effect of myopic femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FSLASIK) on clinical characteristics and tear film biomarkers.
Methods: Eighty eyes from 80 patients who underwent FSLASIK were evaluated. Ocular surface symptoms and signs were evaluated using specific questionnaires and tests.

Background/aims: To examine demographic and clinical factors associated with ocular pain 1 day after refractive surgery.
Methods: Prospective study of individuals undergoing refractive surgery. Participants rated their ocular pain on a 0-10 numerical rating scale (NRS) presurgery and 1 day after surgery.
Three-Month Comprehensive Outcomes of Topography-Guided LASIK Versus Keratorefractive Lenticule Extraction (KLEx): A Prospective Contralateral Study.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare outcomes of topography-guided laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (TG-LASIK) and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE®) for correcting myopia and myopic astigmatism.
Methods: In this prospective, randomized contralateral study, 34 patients (68 eyes) received TG-LASIK in one eye, and SMILE in their fellow eye. Efficacy, safety, predictability, higher-order aberrations, corneal tomography, biomechanics, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) were assessed preoperatively and up to 3 months postoperatively.
