Keloid
Former and
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.
