Popis:	Purpose: To study the stability of the refraction 15 months after myopic laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy (LASEK) performed in thin corneas. Methods: We performed a retrospective study of 92 consecutive eyes that had undergone LASEK to correct their myopia and that had a preoperative corneal thickness 0.05). Uncorrected visual acuity was 0.97±0.2 and 1.03±0.2, respectively (P>0.05). Topography showed no signs of ectasia in any case. Conclusions: Myopic LASEK performed on thin corneas seems to obtain long-term stable refractive results, with no sign of ectasia 3 and 15 months postoperatively.
