Ectasia after laser in situ keratomileusis

摘要: Abstract Eighty-five cases of post laser in situ keratomileusis ectasia were reviewed and analyzed. Cases keratoconus or forme fruste eliminated; many remaining case reports lacked key information. The current literature is unable to define a specific residual corneal thickness range preoperative that would put an eye at risk for developing ectasia. most logical cause eyes without preexisting pathology develop postablation stromal mechanically unstable; this “minimal” probably each eye. postoperative thickness, measured flap microkeratome parameters used given are required determine the puts Other as yet undetermined factors may play role development complication.
