Abstract
We evaluated clinical results and complications of LASIK using Technolas 217 C-LASIKTM excimer laser. This study included 102 patients(203 eyes) who had LASIK from March 1998 to February 1999 and followed up for at least 6months. Preoperative mean spherical equivalent was -3.99+/-1.198(SD), -7.928+/1.138(SD)and -11.92+/-1.060(SD)in each group I, II, III.The results at postoperative 6months were as following: 1. Mean spherical equivalent was -0 .44+/-0.410(SD), -0.34+/-0.500(SD), -0.37+/-0.430(SD)in each group I, II, III. 2. The 70 eyes(65%), 48 eyes(61%), 10 eyes(60%)in each group I, II, III were within+/-0.5D. 3. Mean uncorrected visual acuitywas 1.00+/-0.130(SD), 0.96+/-0.140(SD), 0.86+/-0.150(SD)in each group I, II, III. 4. Loss of best spectacle corrected visual acuity of two or more lines was 6 eyes(3%). Intraoperative complications was thin flap(5 eyes, 2.5%), flap tear(1 eyes, 0.5%)and postoperative complications was night glare and halo(58 eyes, 28.8%), punctate epithelial keratopathy(35 eyes, 12.3%)and interface foreign body(23 eyes, 11.3%). Above results suggests that myopic keratomileusis using Technolas 217 C-LASIKTM is a safe, effective way to correct myopia.
