Laser in situ keratomileusis and macular hemorrhage / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the relationship between lasar in situ keratomileusis(LASIK) and macular hemorrhage after the operation.Methods 1840 patients(3430 eyes) treated by LASIK in our hospital were reviewed for macular hemorrhage in the past four years(July,2001 to 2005).Results The rate of macular hemorrhage was 0.26%(9/3430) after LASIK.The shortest period of time from the LASIK to the occurrence of macular hemorrhage was 20 days and the longest was 8 months 2 patients(2 eyes) with the history of macular hemorrhage suffered hemorrhage again after the LASIK,among the 65 cases with Fuchs spot in macula,there were 4 cases(6.15%) with macular hemorrhage.Conclusions We think there is no direct cause-effect relation between LASIK and macular hemorrhage.LASIK will not increase the rate of macular hemorrhage,but these cases with the history of macular hemorrhage,pathological changes with Fuchs,or fluorescence leaks in checking of FFA cannot receive LASIK.
