PURPOSE: To determine whether laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for the correction of @entity1714 induces an anterior chamber inflammatory response measurable with laser flare-cell photometry. SETTING: Instituto Oftalmol  gico de Alicante, University of Alicante. Alicante, Spain. METHODS: Twenty eyes in 20 @entity1 had LASIK to correct @entity1714 ranging from 2.50 to 15.00 diopters (D) (mean -8.94 +/- 3.25 [SD]). @entity32 was measured preoperatively and 1, 3, 7, and 15 days @entity676 months postoperatively using the flare mode of a laser flare-cell meter. All eyes received topical @entity11074 0.1% drops for 2 weeks postoperatively. RESULTS: Anterior chamber flare values at 1 and 3 days and 1 week postoperatively were not significantly different from those found preoperatively. However, a significant decrease was found at 2 weeks and 1 month (P < .01 and P < .05, respectively). Flare values returned to their preoperative levels at 3 months. No significant correlations between postoperative flare values and depth of ablation were found. CONCLUSION: In this study. LASIK did not induce an inflammatory response in the anterior chamber in the @entity735 .

Subclinical XXXX after laser in situ keratomileusis.
