“…[3][4][5][6] Patient satisfaction has been shown to remain high, also beyond the initial 6-month follow-up period. 26 Our study likewise showed an excellent medical outcome with a good predictability and 86.8% of eyes within G0.5 D and 97.0% within G1.0 D from emmetropia. The mean score for the overall satisfaction was 4.10 G 0.71 on a scale of 0 to 5 (a score of 5 meaning that the patient was totally satisfied).…”

Background:To determine and analyze the reasons why keratorefractive surgery, laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) were not performed in patients who presented for refractive surgery consultation.Materials and Methods:A retrospective observational study was performed between January 2006 and December 2007 in the Yemen Magrabi Hospital. The case records of 2,091 consecutive new patients who presented for refractive surgery were reviewed. Information from the pre-operative ophthalmic examination, such as refractive error, corneal topography and visual acuity, were analyzed. The reasons for not performing LASIK and PRK in the cases that were rejected were recorded and analyzed.Results:In this cohort, 1,660 (79.4%) patients were advised to have LASIK or PRK from the 2,091 patients examined. LASIK and PRK were not advised in 431 (21%) patients. The most common reasons for not performing the surgery were high myopia >-11.00 Diopters (19%), keratoconus (18%), suboptimal central corneal thickness (15%), cataract (12%) and keratoconus suspect (forme fruste keratoconus) (10%).Conclusion:Patients who requested keratorefractive surgery have a variety of problems and warrant comprehensive attention to selection criteria on the part of the surgeon. Corneal topographies and pachymetry of refractive surgery candidates need to be read cautiously. High-refractive error, keratoconus and insufficient corneal thickness were found to be the leading reasons for not performing keratorefractive surgery in this study.

“…José Benítez-del-Castillo (San Carlos University Hospital, Madrid, Spain), discussed the emergence of dysfunctional tear syndrome following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), which leads to dissatisfaction for both patients and surgeons 68. Decrease in tear secretion and corneal sensitivity after LASIK leading to OSD has been reported, and corneal sensitivity recovery using non-contact esthesiometry was not reached in many cases until 54 months after surgery 69.…”

The objective of the Ocular Surface Workshop in Rome, Italy, on 6 February 2009, was to enhance the understanding of ocular surface disease (OSD) through an exploration of the nature of its complexities and current treatment paradigms across Europe. It was hoped that the peer-to-peer discussions and updates regarding common knowledge, clinical practices and shared experiences at this workshop would subsequently shape future treatment approaches to OSD.
