The baseline characteristics, intraoperative findings and postoperative outcomes were analyzed.Results: All 11 eyes underwent femtosecond laser flap creation and LASIK without any significant intraoperative complications. Uncorrected visual acuity improved postoperatively (p< 0.0001) and remained stable at 3 months follow-up. None of the subjects lost any lines of best spectacle corrected visual acuity or developed any flap complications during the postoperative period.Conclusion: The OCT-guided femtosecond laser technique described in this report can provide a safe and effective method to deliver LASIK in the setting of previous corneal scarring. Future investigations are required to further validate the findings in this study.Keywords: LASIK, corneal scarring, optical coherence tomographyRush SWRush RBDove Medical Pressarticlelasikcorneal scarringoptical coherence tomographyOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 1601-1606 (2021)
