Description

Laser-assisted in Situ Keratomileusis Long Term Outcomes in Late AdolescenceChallenging the norms and parameters of safe LASIK surgery in late adolescents with Dr Tanya Trinh, cornea and refractive surgeon and staff specialist at Sydney Eye Hospital. Myopic disease burden is significant, increasing and contributes to serious comorbidities with progression over time. Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis long term outcomes in late adolescence explores how ophthalmologists can use data and evidence-based outcomes to reduce the prevalence of myopia and begin to challenge what we know about preventing myopic progression. Specifically, the paper evaluates the long-term outcomes, including safety and risks of myopic-LASIK in a late adolescent population, but more studies are needed to critically review available data. It is imperative to properly define safety parameters for this technology in this age group.  View article here
