Incidence of microbial keratitis after laser vision correction low
SEATTLE —The incidence of microbial keratitis after laser vision correction is one in 6,300 patients, according to a poster presented here. Steven C. Schallhorn, MD, told Ocular Surgery News at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology meeting that he and colleagues were able to calculate this incidence by using a large cohort of consecutive patients who underwent refractive surgery from January 2008 to December 2012.
