Purpose: To compare visual outcomes, complications, and patient satisfaction after femtosecond laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and conductive keratoplasty (CK).
Setting: Private laser clinics, Reading and Southampton, United Kingdom.
Methods: In this retrospective consecutive single-surgeon comparative study, presbyopic emmetropia was treated with femtosecond LASIK or CK to achieve monovision by targeting -1.50 diopters (D) of myopia in the nondominant eye after a successful monovision contact lens trial. The CK treatments were performed with a ViewPoint CK system using the light-touch technique. The femtosecond LASIK was performed using an IntraLase FS/FS30 and EC-5000 platform with OPDCAT wavefront treatment.
Results: The mean spherical equivalent 12 months postoperatively was -1.63 D +/- 0.68 (SD) in the femtosecond LASIK group and -0.97 +/- 0.82 D in the CK group (P<.001). The mean vector value of astigmatism at 12 months was 0.32 +/- 0.32 D and 1.00 +/- 0.75 D, respectively (P<.0001). The mean induced higher-order aberration (HOA) was 0.45 +/- 0.28 microm in the femtosecond LASIK group and 1.13 +/- 0.25 microm in the CK group (P<.0001). The retreatment rate was 3% after femtosecond LASIK and 50% after CK (P<.0001). On a questionnaire administered at 12 months, 20 patients (62.5%) in the femtosecond LASIK group and 11 patients (34.4%) in the CK group reported being satisfied (P = .02).
Conclusions: In emmetropic presbyopic cases, femtosecond LASIK monovision provided stable correction with less induced astigmatism and HOA. Eyes with CK monovision had regression and induced astigmatism.

To compare the postoperative visual outcomes of corneal topography-guided femtosecond laser-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for myopia and myopic astigmatism. Embase and PubMed were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs), prospective comparative studies, observational studies and retrospective studies of patients with myopia and/or myopic astigmatism treated by corneal topography-guided FS-LASIK, the other FS-LASIKs or SMILE (inception to November 2023). The studies meeting the criteria were collected and underwent quality assessment according to the Jadad scale for RCTs and the Newcastle-Ottawa scale for non-randomized studies.

Purpose: To compare corneal thickness (CT) and corneal volume (CV) consumption after the refractive lenticule extraction and the femtosecond laser-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) in myopic eyes with high with-the-rule (WTR) astigmatism.
Methods: 70 myopic eyes (50 patients) with high WTR astigmatism (-2.00 to -3.

Objective: To compare visual acuity, refraction, Schirmer test, tear break-up time (TBUT), esthesiometry, optical quality, higher order aberrations and posterior corneal elevation measurements before and after small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK).
Method: Paired eye, randomized, cohort study. Follow-up was performed at days 1 and 7, and at months 1, 3, 6 and 12.

This review evaluates the impact of transient intraocular pressure (IOP) elevations during common ophthalmic surgical and diagnostic procedures on glaucoma patients. Elevated IOP is a key risk factor in glaucoma, and while transient IOP spikes are frequently encountered during surgeries like cataract extraction, laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), and femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS), the clinical significance of these short-term elevations remains uncertain, particularly for eyes with compromised optic nerves. There is still a lack of data on which IOP level and duration of IOP insult the glaucoma damage occurs.
