Abstract
The number of LASIK procedures performed is growing rapidly; this growth trend is fuelled by aggressive marketing of the procedure and a public that is becoming increasingly informed and demanding of the procedure. Furthermore, the fact that LASIK is a quick relatively pain-free procedure with almost instantaneous visual improvement. 45 patients were subjected to LASIK followed by optic coherence tomography (OCT) and visual field (VF) in this study in the research institute of ophthalmology. Clinical assessment will be achieved by using visual perimetry, while anatomical of the structural changes of the RNFL will be achieved by OCT. there was a highly significant reduction in the inferior and superior quadrants. there was a highly significant reduction in myopic patients >-7 D. LASIK has a deleterious effect of 7% as a whole on RNFLT, especially on the inferior and the superior quadrants and on patients with myopia >-7 D.
