Authors: Liu A, Manche EE
The authors report anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging findings in a case of central toxic keratopathy following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery for low hyperopia. OCT imaging 1 month after surgery demonstrates that the flap thickness is maintained and the location of stromal tissue loss is just posterior to the flap in the stromal bed in the affected area. This corresponds to the clinical observation of interface opacity extending posteri

ABSTRACT Symptoms of tear dysfunction after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) occur in nearly all patients and resolve in the vast majority. Although dry eye complaints are a leading cause of patient discomfort and dissatisfaction after LASIK, the symptoms are not uniform, and the disease is not a single entity. Post-LASIK tear dysfunction syndrome or dry eye is a term used to describe a spectrum of disease encompassing transient or persistent post-operative neur

I just thought i'd start a thread on my experience after my surgery at Finchley road ,London.I had my surgery on Friday 12th @ 17:30. It was relatively pain free and apart from the first night where my eyes streamed til midnight and felt slightly uncomfortable it was a walk in the park. I managed to get about 5 hours sleep in the end. The following day i had my check up @15:00 and was able to read the 4th line down with my left eye and 3rd with my right..not great..but here i am on day 4 and i can now see
Dry Eyes - Misleading Comments
22/11/2010 | external link
I am quite concerned about some of the answers given on the subject of dry eyes by the administrators.For instance Nina frequently writes 'People with dry eyes are normally advised against LASIK treatment as the nerve endings responsible for tear formation are temporarily disturbed'. This is misleading as the nerves are actually 'cut' not 'disturbed' and they have to grow back which can take months or even years. Research has shown that when they do grow back density is often reduced and in a small minori
