Abstract: To evaluate the efficacy of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for myopia.We performed LASIK on 55 eyes using the Nidek ED-5000 excimer laser. We altered the PRK algorithms to make them appropriate for LASIK. The Chiron automated corneal shaper was used to create the flap.A high rate of satisfaction was noted among patients and the complication rate was low. Our retreatment rate was 6%.Our algorithms for myopic LASIK ablations using the Nidek EC-5000 are accurate.
