The Lamina Cribrosa (LC) Changes in the Eyes After Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK)

Completed
Conditions
The Lamina Cribrosa and Optic Nerve Head Changes
Interventions
Device: Exposed to the high pressure during the surgery
Registration Number
NCT02676557
Lead Sponsor
Samsung Medical Center
Brief Summary

The burden of LASIK surgery on optic nerve head (ONH) has been controversial. Until now, the change of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness was used as the indicator of the study. In the present study, the investigators intended to investigate whether the changes of the deep and superficial structures around ONH exist or not using EDI OCT.
