Post-LASIK Ectasia

Protecting & Stabilizing Your Vision

What Is Post-LASIK Ectasia?

Post LASIK ectasia occurs when the cornea gradually weakens and changes shape after LASIK surgery, causing vision to become blurry, distorted, or less reliable over time. Common symptoms may include glare, halos, ghosting, fluctuating eyesight, increasing prescription changes, and difficulty seeing clearly at night. Advanced corneal imaging helps evaluate these changes and guide personalized treatment options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can scleral lenses help with post LASIK ectasia?

Yes. Scleral lenses are often recommended for patients with post LASIK ectasia because they help create a smoother visual surface over the cornea. This can help reduce distortion, glare, halos, and fluctuating vision while improving overall visual clarity. Each lens is customized to fit the unique shape of your eyes and provide a more stable visual experience.

Can post-LASIK ectasia get worse over time?

In some cases, yes. The cornea may continue to weaken or change shape gradually over time, which can cause vision to become increasingly blurry or unpredictable. Regular monitoring and early treatment are important for helping manage these changes and protecting long term eye health.

Why does vision become blurry after LASIK?

When the cornea becomes irregular or unstable after LASIK, light can no longer focus evenly inside the eye. This may lead to blurry vision, ghosting, glare, halos, or difficulty seeing clearly at night. Symptoms can develop gradually and may continue to change over time.

How is post-LASIK ectasia diagnosed?

Post LASIK ectasia is diagnosed using advanced corneal imaging and detailed eye measurements that evaluate the shape and stability of the cornea. These scans help Dr. Letourneau identify subtle corneal changes, monitor progression, and determine the best treatment options for your eyes.
