Summary

Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) effectively corrects myopia in eyes with prior retinal detachment surgery. However, conjunctival scarring may impact microkeratome suction during LASIK procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Refractive Surgery
  • Retinal Surgery

Background:

  • Myopic refractive errors often require correction.
  • Retinal detachment surgery can alter ocular anatomy.
  • Previous retinal detachment surgery may pose challenges for refractive correction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of LASIK for myopia correction in eyes post-retinal detachment surgery.
  • To assess visual outcomes and complications following LASIK in this patient cohort.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective, non-comparative case series of 10 eyes from nine patients.
  • LASIK performed on eyes with prior retinal detachment surgery and myopic errors.
  • Evaluation of visual acuity, refraction, fundus, and corneal parameters; follow-up for 6 months.

Main Results:

  • Successful LASIK in eight eyes; two cases aborted intraoperatively.
  • Mean spherical equivalent improved significantly from -5.43 D to near plano post-LASIK.
  • Improved uncorrected visual acuity and stable or improved best-corrected visual acuity; no retinal complications.

Conclusions:

  • LASIK is a viable option for correcting myopia in eyes with a history of retinal detachment surgery.
  • Conjunctival scarring in these eyes can impede microkeratome suction, potentially affecting surgical success.
