New instrumentation and technique for revision lasik surgery
Gulani A. C.
Laser Refractive and Corneo-Plastic Surgery, Department of Ophthalmology, University of Florida, Jacksonville, Florida, USA
Purpose: Five new instruments have been designed by the author
for revision Lasik surgery by re-lifting the corneal flap.
Methods: A new three-step approach for previous corneal flap lift
was undertaken in patients with residual ammetropia as well as to address
interface complications following lasik surgery.
Results: This new instrumentation and technique allowed for consistent
and predictable flap lift in the follow up range of 3 to 12 months post
Lasik, thus avoiding the intimidating microkeratome and its inherent complications.
Conclusion: The corneal flap can be easily re-lifted upto 1 year
post Lasik to enhance (By added stromal ablation) or address interface
complications without recutting with the microkeratome. This is an encouraging
step towards fine tuning Laser refractive surgery in our quest for emmetropia.
