“…The accurate measurement of IOP is of great importance in clinic, especially in the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma. Some patients showing "normal" IOP reading may have visual function damaged after LASIK [15,16] , so it is more important to find the most accurate way of measuring IOP in myopic patients who undergo LASIK [17,18] .…”

In order to explore the difference of intraocular pressure (IOP) at different points of cornea before and after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), IOP was measured by Tono-Pen Tonometer at central cornea, pericentral cornea and limbus respectively and analyzed statistically. After LASIK, IOP was dropped significantly at central cornea and pericentral cornea (P<0.05), while no statistically significant change occurred at limbus (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in IOP at different points before LASIK (F=0.110, P=0.896), but statistically significant difference was found after LASIK (F=7.375, P=0.001). It was suggested that reliable IOP after LASIK could be obtained from the limbus by Tono-Pen tonometer.

“…"Flattening" of the cornea by means of laser treatment has the effect of increasing the radius of curvature of the corneal surface. This central removal of material also alters the biomechanical characteristics of the cornea, potentially affecting among other things the applanatory measurement of internal ocular pressure in the course of investigation of glaucoma (22)(23)(24). Kerato-refractive procedures are not discussed in more detail here owing to the limited scope of this article, but the relevant literature is cited in review articles (25,26).…”

“…Also in a few cases after LASIK, fluid accumulates at the flap interface, resulting in another condition similar to DLK, 2 but with a later onset, usually after the first postoperative week. [31][32][33][34][35][36][37] The ideal approach would be a prospective comparison of 2 groups of patients having LASIK using both glove brands in a double-blind study. However, as Hoffman et al 3 point out, the strong correlation between the talcfree gloves and DLK means that a controlled study would be unethical, especially considering the risks of this sightthreatening condition.…”
