Introduction The incidence of ectasia following refractive surgery is unclear. This review
sought to determine the worldwide rates of ectasia after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) …

Purpose: To report the incidence of postoperative ectasia after laser in situ keratomileusis
(LASIK). Methods: A retrospective case review of 30,167 eyes (16,732 patients) was …

PURPOSE: To present the Tomographic and Biomechanical Index (TBI), which combines
Scheimpflugbased corneal tomography and biomechanics for enhancing ectasia detection …

Purpose To improve the detection of corneal ectasia susceptibility using tomographic data.
Design Multicenter case-control study. Methods Data from patients from 5 different clinics …

This review outlines risk factors of post-laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) ectasia that can
be detected preoperatively and presents a new metric to be considered in the detection of …

Corneal diseases, uncorrected refractive errors, and cataract represent the major causes of
blindness globally. The number of refractive surgeries, either cornea-or lens-based, is also …

Ectasia after refractive surgery is a relatively rare complication which can lead to sight-
threatening complications if not detected and treated in time. It is important to continue our …

Corneal ectasia has emerged as a serious complication of laser vision correction (LVC)
procedures since the first report by Seiler in 1998. Thereby, its prevention has become a …

Purpose Four cases of corneal ectasia after small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) have
been reported. In this review, we provide an overview of the published literature on corneal …

Purpose: The objective of this study is to evaluate the in vivo corneal biomechanical
response to three laser refractive surgeries. Methods: Two hundred and twenty-seven …
