Lasik, All-Laser Lasik, PRK, LASEK, Epi-Lasik, CK, P-IOL, RLE, etc.
At this time we have not heard of any patients with a history of keloid abnormal scar formation having problems with conventional or custom wavefront Lasik, All-Laser Lasik, PRK, LASEK, Epi-Lasik excimer laser assisted or lens based refractive surgery procedures like RLE and P-IOL.Although doctors do not fully agree if a history of keloid formation is or is or is not a contraindication for refractive surgery, at least one study indicates that keloid formers do not have any higher risk with Lasik, All-Laser Lasik, PRK, LASEK, or Epi-Lasik. Lens based procedures have the benefit of studies from cataract surgery that show keloid should not normally be a problem for RLE and P-IOL. A history of keloid formation is a specific contraindication for CK and a keloid former should not have CK. |
