Purpose: To report complications of femtosecond laser-assisted re-treatment by the creation of side cuts within the old flaps for residual refractive error after primary LASIK in two patients.
Methods: Case report.
Results: Three eyes of two patients had complications with a circumferential sliver of stromal tissue displaced during surgery due to overlap of old and new side cuts. The displaced tissue was repositioned and corneal anatomy was restored. Two of three eyes demonstrated improvement in the uncorrected visual acuity, whereas one eye lost two lines of corrected visual acuity due to loss of tissue at side cut resulting from flap manipulation, which was done at 1 week.
Conclusions: These cases demonstrate a complication of femtosecond laser-enabled side-cut for LASIK enhancement and factors that may lead to this complication and precautions to avoid it.

Anisotropic nanoplatelets (NPLs) possess strong in-plane transition dipole moments and out-of-plane emission, which enable a maximum photon out-coupling efficiency of 40% and a high gain coefficient, making them ideal candidates for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and lasers. However, the unbalanced surface energy between the side and top facets of NPLs results in poor thermal stability and high susceptibility to ripening at elevated temperatures, which complicates the growth of the shell. To address this issue, a gradient crown (CdSeS) around the CdSe NPLs is designed to stabilize the high energy side facets.

Refractive error is a key determinant of visual acuity post-cataract surgery. Traditional methods for addressing refractive errors have been invasive, posing the risk of permanent surgical complications. Thus, the pursuit of non-invasive techniques for correcting refractive errors after cataract surgery is of significant clinical importance.

Postoperative dry eye is a common complication following femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery, and the patient interface (PI) used during the procedure may play a significant role in its occurrence. This study, utilizing a meticulous scientific search strategy, identified seven relevant articles through literature search engines. Most of these studies employed contact-type PI during surgeries, while one researcher used a non-contact PI.
