Microkeratome-related complications:
? "Buttonhole" flaps
? Free caps
? Irregular caps
? Incomplete flaps
? Thin flaps
? Small flaps
0.7% to 11.8% in published reports; but 2.2% or less in studies with larger patient populations
Excimer-laser-related complications:
? Central islands
? Decentered ablations
1.2% for myopia correction and 6.8% for combined hyperopia-astigmatism correction n early reports, but advances in laser technology and surgical technique have largely eliminated these problems
