title: [LASIK = laser in situ keratomileusis. Initial experience].
abstract: Electron microscopic picture of human and rabbit corneas treated by LASer In situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) are presented. Clinical part of this paper deals with first 11 eyes operated by LASIK in the Czech Republic (10 eyes with myopia and myopia with astigmatism and 1 eye with hyperopia with astigmatism). Follow up 2 months. Refraction and BCVA changes are demonstrated on scales. Refraction in the myopic group decreased from -16,3 (+/- 7,05) D sf.eq.preop. to -1,7 (+/- 2,45) D postop. Complications preop.: 3x undercorrection, 1x overcorrection, 3x residual astigmatism and 5x detritus at the interface. One case of early reoperation because of undercorrection is demonstrated. Short term results show that LASIK seems to be a very good methods of surgical correction of higher and high myopia and myopia with astigmatism with good predictability. It is possible to perform successful early reoperation with good centration of ablation zone and good functional outcome. LASIK eliminates postop. pain. There were no corneal hazes even with low term application of steroids in this group of 11 eyes. Promising results were achieved in hyperopia treated by LASIK.
