Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) can cause microfolds and particles, indicating subclinical complications. Flap thickness appears to influence cellular activation and corneal healing post-LASIK surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal Surgery
  • Confocal Microscopy

Context:

  • Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a common refractive surgery.
  • Understanding stromal modifications post-LASIK is crucial for improving surgical outcomes.
  • In vivo confocal microscopy offers detailed insights into corneal tissue changes.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate stromal modifications following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for myopia.
  • To assess changes in keratocyte density, flap thickness, and subclinical haze using confocal microscopy.

Summary:

  • Post-LASIK examination revealed microfolds in Bowman's layer and interface particles in all patients.
  • A negative correlation was observed between flap thickness and activated-cell area.
  • Subclinical haze intensity, measured by Z-Scan, also showed a negative correlation with flap thickness.

Impact:

  • Confocal microscopy aids in understanding corneal wound healing after LASIK.
  • Identifying subclinical complications like microfolds and particles can refine LASIK techniques.
  • Flap thickness may play a role in LASIK-induced cellular activation and healing processes.
