Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Most of complications are flap related and include a free cap, a button hole, an incomplete cut, flap striae, interface debris, diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK), and epithelial ingrowth. Other complications include undercorrection, overcorrection, decentered ablation, irregular ablation, and ectasia.
Corneal ectasia is a sight-threatening complication of laser refractive surgery characterized by progressive steepening and thinning of the cornea.It is defined as progressive stromal thinning and steepening of the cornea, resulting in refractive aberrations and visual deterioration. The incidence of post- LASIK ectasia is estimated to be between 0.04% and 0.6%.Corneal ectasia has been observed to occur as early as 1 week and as late as several years after LASIK.
The main purpose of assessing risk is to determine what group or groups of people present a higher chance to develop post-LASIK ectasia. The development of postoperative ectasia varies between LASIK centers and depends on the screening tools used to screen candidates, the experience and technical skill of the surgeon, and the tools used during the surgery. Risk factors for the development of post-LASIK ectasia include young age, a personal or family history of keratoconus, forme fruste keratoconus (FFKC), high myopia, low-residual stromal bed (RSB), and deep primary keratotomy resulting in a thick flap.
Although several risk factors have been identified for the likelihood of ectasia development after keratorefractive surgeries, some cases have been reported to develop in an enigmatic way, without the prescence of any of these risk factors.
