“…14-16 However, LASIK has been shown to best treat myopic spherical error and is less predictable in treating higher astigmatic error after keratoplasty. 15 In our series of patients, some were treated before we were performing LASIK in post-keratoplasty eyes. Those patients treated when LASIK was available often had astigmatic error too high to successfully treat with LASIK, with cylinder of more than 6.0 D. 17 Ten patients (20%) did go on to have LASIK to further enhance their refractive outcome.…”

“…No paciente 7, a técnica LASIK foi realizada 2 anos após o transplante penetrante e 6 meses após a remoção das suturas. Em estudo anterior sobre LASIK após transplante de córnea (6) , observamos que este espaço de tempo é suficiente para que a refração se estabilize, o que coincide com o relato de outros autores (7)(8) . Alguns autores (19) sugeriram que, após o transplante de córnea, a técnica LASIK seja realizada em dois tempos cirúrgicos: no primeiro, o disco corneano é confeccionado pelo microceratótomo e reposicionado.…”

“…Além disso, fazendo a correção em um único tempo, caso ocorra erro refracional residual significativo, e havendo espessura corneana residual suficiente, um segundo procedimento pode ainda ser realizado, conforme apresentamos em estudo anterior (16) . Quanto aos riscos relacionados à cirurgia, nossa preocupação era semelhante àquela descrita em outros estudos (7)(8) para pacientes adultos, que ressalta o risco de deiscência da cicatriz cirúrgica nos casos submetidos à cirurgia ocular pré-via. Deiscências após transplante de córnea ou cirurgia de catarata são complicações que podem ocorrer mesmo após anos da cirurgia, especialmente quando a pressão intra-ocular é elevada a níveis em torno de 65 mmHg (20) .…”

“…63 As compared to PRK, LASIK has several advantages including fast visual rehabilitation, decreased stromal scarring, minimal regression, and the ability to treat a greater amount of refractive errors. 28,60,[64][65][66] Factors that may influence the outcome of astigmatism treatment by LASIK other than the wound-healing process are the position of the hinge in relation to the location of the visual axis, flap diameter relative to the PK donor button diameter, and flap thickness. 55,67 In addition, corneal graft thickness and the amount of refractive error may limit the efficacy of the procedure.…”
