Purpose: To compare the refractive prediction accuracy of the Optiwave Refractive Analysis (ORA) SYSTEM with the Barrett True-K (BTK) formula in calculating intraocular lens (IOL) power in eyes that underwent cataract surgery after previous myopic photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) or laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).

Methods: This retrospective study evaluated patients aged ≥22 years with prior myopic PRK or LASIK who underwent unilateral or bilateral cataract removal and monofocal IOL implantation using the ORA SYSTEM at 177 sites in the United States. Two datasets were analyzed: All Eyes (ie, all eligible eyes) and First Surgery Eyes (ie, each patient's first implanted eye).

Purpose: To assess ocular higher-order aberrations (HOAs) following ray trace guided laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).

Methods: Retrospective review at a single-site ophthalmology practice. Two hundred and fifty eyes of 250 patients with myopia and astigmatism undergoing ray trace LASIK were randomly reviewed (Wavelight Plus, Alcon).

Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of elliptical thin-flap LASIK surgery using a low-pulse energy femtosecond laser across three different corneal flap thicknesses (85, 90, and 100 μm).
  • A total of 80 patients who received bilateral LASIK surgery in Taiwan showed impressive results, with 96% achieving 20/20 vision or better at one month post-surgery.
  • The procedure was deemed safe, with no complications reported, and the flap thickness was predictably achieved across all thickness subgroups.

Factors predicting slow visual recovery following microkeratome-assisted myopic LASIK.

Acta Ophthalmol

September 2024

Department of Ophthalmology, Rambam Health Care Campus, Haifa, Israel.

Purpose: To identify factors predicting slow visual recovery following myopic microkeratome assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).

Design: Retrospective study.

Methods: This study included consecutive patients who underwent microkeratome-assisted myopic LASIK between January 2005 and December 2019 at Care Vision Laser Center, Tel Aviv, Israel.

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzes the FDA's MAUDE database to identify and characterize adverse events linked to femtosecond (FS) laser-assisted LASIK surgeries from January 2012 to April 2022.
  • A total of 1,136 relevant adverse events were identified from 3,491 reports, with common intraoperative complications being incomplete cuts and difficulties with the flap, while diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) was the most frequent postoperative issue.
  • This research highlights the prevalence of specific complications during and after FS-assisted LASIK and aims to improve awareness and patient counseling for ophthalmologists.
