  2. PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical outcome of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for the treatment of myopia with thin corneas.

  3. METHODS • SETTING: Hadassah Optimal Laser Center,Jerusalem, Israel • Retrospective study • N: 193 eyes • Preoperative CCT<498 microns • Calculated RST≤ 250 microm • F/U : at least one year • Exclusion criteria ; • - incomplete documentation • - lost to follow-up

  4. RESULTS Patient characteristics & Preoperative data

  5. RESULTS Distribution of preoperative central corneal thickness CCT484.83±10.32 Range 455-497 mm

  6. RESULTS Topographic values &The predictability of the procedures Scattergram showing achieved versus attempted correction.

  7. RESULTS Postoperative data.

  8. CONCLUSION • LASIK was safe in patients with thin corneas and myopia. • More studies with longer follow-up are needed to elucidate further the safety of the LASIK in thin corneas.
