LASEK is a newer technique of refractive surgery, which combines the advantages of PRK and LASIK even as it eliminates their disadvantages. The LASEK technique is demonstrated.
Epithelial In-Growth Following Lasik
Author: Dr Sridhar Mittanamalli S.
Year of Publication: 2003
Epithelial in-growth is a rare but serious complication of LASIK surgery. Although isolated nests of cells disappear without any consequence, the in-growth that is contiguous with the flap edge can progress to involve the visual axis, resulting in flap melting. This video features the predisposing factors, prevention and treatment of this sight threatening complication of LASIK surgery.

Presented here is an entity that we have termed “LASIK-Induced Bilateral Peripheral Infiltrative Keratitis.” A thick band of peripheral infiltrate between the flap edge and the limbus appeared on the first post-operative day after Laser In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK). The therapy that was initiated to help achieve optimal vision in the patient is described in this video.
Late Spontaneous Dislocation (or Disenclavation) of Iris Claw Intraocular Lens

This video presents the case report of a 65 year-old female patient who presented with defective vision in the left eye of three weeks duration, 17 years after undergoing cataract surgery. Her best-corrected visual acuity was 20/30 in the right eye and 20/25 in the left eye. Both eyes showed limbal steel sutures and iris claw IOL but, in the left eye, there was temporal disenclavation of the IOL. Patches of iris atrophy were seen at the site of previous iris enclavation and the central posterior capsular opening was filled with vitreous in the pupillary area. She underwent IOL exchange. During surgery, the Sinskey hook was passed under the nasal haptic to disengage the IOL that was then explanted under the cover of Healon 5. Anterior vitrectomy was performed and a single piece PMMA PC-IOL was inserted into the sulcus. Late spontaneous dislocation (or disenclavation) of iris claw lens can be a rare complication. This complication should be kept in mind while performing Phakic IOLs for refractive correction using this model of iris claw IOL.
Nocardial Keratitis after LASIK

Although LASIK is a relatively safe procedure, infection can be a rare but sight threatening complication. The video will show the diagnosis and management of nocardia keratitis after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in four eyes of three patients operated on the same day at a single center.

Laser in situ keratomileusis or LASIK is an accepted procedure for low-moderate myopia, provided the sanctity of the residual stromal bed is maintained at 250 microns. This video will describe the management options when LASIK cannot be done due to low preoperative pachymetry values.
Surgical reposition of late traumatic flap slippage and tear at the superior hinge after the uneventful Laser in situ keratomileusis

We report a case of late traumatic flap slippage and tear at superior hinge that occurred 12 months after an uneventful laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) performed on a 24-year old male. Surgical repositioning of the flap was followed by diffuse lamellar keratitis, which resolved at 2 weeks. The final uncorrected visual acuity was 20/20 corneal topography and ocular aberrations in both eyes were comparable.
