- Abstract
- To determine deep optic nerve head structure changes after transient intraocular pressure elevationduring laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for myopiaMethods: Enhanced depth imaging-optical coherence tomography was performed in each myopic eye that underwentLASIK surgery. Enhanced depth imaging-optical coherence tomography images were created at postoperative1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, and 1 month. Lamina cribrosa (LC) thickness, LC depth and prelaminar thicknessat the superior, middle and inferior portions of the optic nerve head were measured by two investigators.
Results: Forty eyes in 40 patients were included in the present study. During follow-up, there were no significantdifferences in prelaminar thickness or LC depth. The LC demonstrated increased thickness at postoperative 1day at all three locations (superior, middle, and inferior) (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, respectively). However,no significant changes were observed at postoperative 1 week, 2 weeks, and 1 month.
Conclusions: The LC thickness could increase at 1 day after LASIK surgery. However, the thickness will graduallyreturn to baseline morphology. Temporary intraocular pressure increase during LASIK does not appear to induceirreversible LC thickness changes.
