研究目的
To determine factors associated with early flap misalignment following microkeratome-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis.
研究成果
This study found that larger treatment zones, higher operating room temperature, operating during the spring, and the use of Moria M2 microkeratome were associated with increased flap misalignment rates. The identification of these risk factors may serve as the first step to improving patient outcomes. Meticulous postoperative examination of high-risk patients is warranted.
研究不足
As it is a retrospective study, there may have been patients who developed flap misalignment and turned into a different center. In addition, as all patients in this study underwent microkeratome-assisted LASIK, the findings of this study do not apply to femtosecond laser–assisted LASIK.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
This retrospective study included the right eyes of consecutive patients who underwent laser in situ keratomileusis procedure between 2005 and 2016 at Care-Vision Laser Centers, Tel-Aviv, Israel. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether or not they subsequently developed early flap misalignment.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
All medical files were reviewed, and demographic and preoperative information was extracted.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A Moria microkeratome (Moria, Antony, France), with a thickness plate of 90 microns, was used to create the flap.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
All patients underwent microkeratome-assisted LASIK using a technique as previously described by Mimouni et al.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed with the Minitab Software, version 17 (Minitab Inc., State College, PA, USA).
