Zusammenfassung

Die Laser in situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) stellt weltweit den Goldstandard der laserchirurgischen Verfahren zur dauerhaften Korrektur von Brechkraftfehlern dar. Durch den technologischen Fortschritt und die zunehmende chirurgische Expertise konnten in der letzten Dekade die refraktive Genauigkeit dieser Methode weiter verfeinert und die Risiken gesenkt werden. Das Ziel dieses Übersichtsartikels ist eine Standortbestimmung der LASIK Ende 2019: Historie, Patientenselektion, Operationsmethode, Risiken und Erfolgsraten.

Summary

Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is the gold standard of laser-assisted procedures for correction of refractive error. Technological advances and growing surgeon experience during the last decade further improved refractive accuracy and complication rate of the procedure. The aim of this article is to review the current situation of LASIK in late 2019: history, patient selection, surgical method, risks and refractive outcomes.
