Residual bed thickness and corneal forward shift after laser in situ keratomileusis

JCRS May 2004



Conclusions: Even if a residual corneal bed of 300 ?m or thicker is preserved, anterior bulging of the cornea after LASIK can occur. Eyes with thin corneas and high myopia requiring greater laser ablation are more predisposed to an anterior shift of the cornea.
