ABSTRACT

Purpose: To evaluate, by using confocal microscopy, the post-LASIK stromal findings in patients treated with non steroids anti-inflammatory agents (NSAE).
Methods: 24 eyes of 12 patients underwent LASIK, non steroids an anti-inflammatory agent was used in the postoperatory treatment. Confocal microscopy was done at 1 week and 1 month after surgery.
Results: Corneal epithelium and stromal flap were normal in 100% of the postoperatory corneas. Corneal flap interfacewas found in all corneas by the presence of hiperreflective particles. At the retroablation zone after LASIK, activated keratocites were found in a stromal portion thickness of 26.4 ± 15.7 µ at 1 week and 26.4 ± 15.7 µ at 1 month respectively.
Conclusion: Confocal microscopy findings after LASIK in patients treated with non steroids anti-inflammatory agents are similar than previous reports using steroids agents.
