    Summary

    This study reviews a "wet technique" for laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery. This method improves visual outcomes, prevents complications, and efficiently manages intraoperative issues in over 20,000 eyes.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Refractive Surgery

    Background:

    • Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a widely performed refractive surgery.
    • Surgical technique significantly impacts visual outcomes and complication rates in LASIK.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review a specific
    • wet technique
    • for LASIK surgery.
    • To highlight its effectiveness in improving outcomes and managing complications.

    Main Methods:

    • The authors describe their surgical technique, applied in over 20,000 eyes.
    • The technique involves specific procedures to manage the corneal interface during surgery.

    Main Results:

    • The
    • wet technique
    • prevents interface debris and irregular astigmatism.
    • It reduces flap adherence time and aids in managing intraoperative complications like buttonhole keratectomy or epithelial sloughing.

    Conclusions:

    • The described
    • wet technique
    • is efficient and effective for LASIK.
    • It contributes to achieving a clear interface and rapid, stable visual recovery.
