Cimberle, Michela; Stahl, Jason E.
- Abstract
The article highlights the views of Thanh Hoang-Xuan, a surgeon at American Hospital of Paris, on the use of preoperative assessment of basic parameters to predict ectasia risk after LASIK. Hoang-Xuan said that their practice must always be based on evidence-based medicine. He discussed an article about an ectasia risk assessment model to help surgeons in selecting refractive surgery candidates. He added that PRK is a low or no-risk procedure.
