PURPOSETo evaluate the impact on visual outcome of
Femtosecond LASIK flap complicationsRetrospective reviewCompared to uncomplicated Femtosecond
LASIK flaps
METHODSRetrospective case series
586 eyes of 293 patientsFour surgeonsAll femtosecond LASIK All surgeries at Joint Warfighter Refractive
Surgery Center at Lackland AFB, TXEndpoint at one monthETDRS testingData analysis using paired t-test
METHODSTypes of complications (no surgical
intervention required)Diffuse lamellar keratitisMicrostriae Flap tearsIncomplete side cutEpithelial ingrowth
Compared to uncomplicated femtosecond LASIK eyes
CONCLUSIONSNo statistically significant difference was
observed in BSCVA among the group of patients with abnormalities in their flaps compared to normals
The overall incidence of intraoperative complications in femtosecond laser flap creation is exceedingly low at 1.02% in this series
