A 10-Year Prospective Audit of LASIK Outcomes for Myopia in 37932 Eyes at a Single Institution in Asia

Outcomes of the Haigis-L formula for calculating intraocular lens power in Asian eyes after refractive surgery

“…Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is the most common and popular corneal refractive surgery worldwide. 1,2 Corneal refractive surgery presents a unique problemdintraocular lens (IOL) power calculationd when cataract surgery is subsequently required. [3][4][5] The challenges of IOL power calculations after refractive surgery can be attributed to the following 3 factors: cornea radius error, 6 refractive index error, 7 and formula error.…”

Refractive lenticule extraction flap and stromal bed morphology assessment with anterior segment optical coherence tomography

“…Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) has become the most popular laser-based method of treating refractive errors today 1 and has an established long-term predictability, safety, and efficacy record. 2 Refractive lenticular extraction is a new procedure in which an intrastromal refractive lenticule is excised with the femtosecond laser without the use of a microkeratome or excimer laser. Two refractive lenticular extraction procedures are currently performed at our center.…”

Ocular Aberrations and Corneal Thickness-Intraocular Pressure Relationship One Year after Laser in situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) Enhancement with An Aspheric Ablation Profile

“…Miscorrections ≥ 1.00 D were prevalent in up to 59% of cases in reports over the period 1994-97 [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. More recently, a retrospective study on 37,932 procedures treated between 1998-2007 revealed post-op refraction off target greater than ± 1D in just 7% of cases [9]. Since 2000, the reported rate for retreatment averages at about 4% [10][11][12], increasing to 20% in myopic patients after 10 years according to one source [13].The original nomograms for excimer laser photoablation were based on relatively simple spherical optics.…”
