Ultrabiomicroscopy (UBM) in flap dislocation following LASIK: a case report

Eur J Ophthalmol. 2007 Mar-Apr;17(2):259-61. doi: 10.1177/112067210701700217.

Abstract

Purpose: To describe postoperative laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) flap dislocation occurred after trauma

Methods: Ultrabiomicroscopy (UBM) is used to obtain a high-resolution imaging of the cornea.

Results: The UBM results are presented and compared with histologic and confoscan findings

Conclusions: The technique is useful and easy to perform, offering more opportunities to study the anatomical changes in LASK flap dislocation occurred after trauma.
