Incidence, indications, and outcomes of eyes needing early flap lifting after LASIK
Cornea Aug 14, 2018
Mimouni M, et al. - Authors evaluated the incidence, indications, and outcomes associated with early flap relifting following uncomplicated laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). They reviewed all LASIK cases from a single surgical center between 2007 and 2015. Striae were the main indication for early flap relifting after LASIK, and a full resolution was achieved in most cases. Nonetheless, in this group, refractive and visual outcomes were satisfactory, despite being lower. Rates and outcomes of flap relifting were significantly different among the high-volume surgeons. The final safety index and efficacy index was significantly lower and distance from target refraction was higher in the flap lift group.
