Abstract
Tear film and ocular surface disorders leading to contact lens intolerance are motivating factors for potential candidates to consider keratorefractive surgery.1,2 There have been associations between pre-operative tear film and ocular surface disorders and refractive regression in radial keratotomy3 and photorefractive keratectomy,4 although their effect on the refractive outcome for laser in situ keratomiluesis (LASIK) has not been investigated.
