Corneal ectasia induced by laser in situ keratomileusis
Abstract
PURPOSE: To identify factors that can lead to corneal ectasia after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). SETTING: University refractive surgery center. METHODS: In this retrospective study, the charts of all patients (2873 eyes) who had LASIK between May 1995 and November 1999 were reviewed. Fourteen patients (19 eyes, 0.66%) developed post-LASIK ectasia. The mean follow-up was 16.32 months (range 6 to 42 months). RESULTS: No patient with an attempted correction less than 8.00 diopters or a residual corneal bed thickness greater than 325 microm experienced post-LASIK ectasia. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between corneal residual bed thickness and increasing patient age. CONCLUSION: Despite the limitations of the small sample size, the study's results suggest that parameters besides residual corneal bed thickness (eg, age, attempted correction) may have to be considered to avoid post-LASIK ectasia.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
