Incidence, Risk, and Visual Outcomes after Repositioning of Acute Non-Traumatic Flap Dislocations Following Femtosecond-Assisted LASIK

Abstract: Although the use of femtosecond lasers instead of mechanical devices has decreased the incidence of flap complications following laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), dislocations and striae still occur. Flap repositioning is an effective intervention to improve visual outcomes after acute flap complications in both microkeratome-assisted and femtosecond-assisted LASIK. This retrospective case series included patients undergoing flap repositioning secondary to acute flap dislocation and/or visually si… Show more

“…Striae can induce corneal irregularities and cause a range of symptoms, including loss of visual acuity, glare, foreign body sensation, and astigmatism. The risk factors for striae include higher ablation depth, age greater than 50, endothelial cell dysfunction, epithelial erosions, and EBMD [ 86 ].…”

“…Femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) has become one of the preferred treatments for myopia and myopic astigmatism due to its safety, efficacy, as well as postoperative predictability. In FS-LASIK procedure, corneal morphology is modified by a lamellar flap with a predetermined thickness and corneal ablation technology, which achieves correction of refractive defects [1,2]. More importantly, the introduction of the femtosecond laser in FS-LASIK has enhanced the precision and safety of the procedure and decreased the incidence of complications such as corneal ectasia [1,3,4].…”

More importantly, the introduction of the femtosecond laser in FS-LASIK has enhanced the precision and safety of the procedure and decreased the incidence of complications such as corneal ectasia [1,3,4]. However, some accidental postoperative symptoms such as glare, halos, diplopia, and night vision disturbance indicate that flap cut and corneal ablation may break corneal homeostasis related to corneal biomechanical properties, resulting in adverse consequences for visual acuity [3,5,6].…”

“…Postoperative complications rarely occur after ICL implantation, although cataract formation, pigment dispersion, intraocular inflammation, toxic anterior segment syndrome, and toric ICL rotation have been reported [ 9 – 12 ]. Laser corneal refractive surgery, such as LASIK, may lead to ocular trauma, resulting in flap displacement [ 13 , 14 ]. Therefore, surface ablation surgeries, such as photorefractive keratectomy, laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy, and epi-LASIK, are recommended for patients with hobbies or occupations that are associated with a risk of direct impact to the eye.…”
