Corneal flap dislocation, corneal flap strial and intraface debris were examined after operation, the effective treatment and controlled measure should be taken for these complications.<p>RESULTS: Postoperative complications were corneal flap dislocation 102 eyes(2.5%), corneal flapstriae 95 eyes(2.33%), interface debris 105 eyes(2.57%). No failure case was seen. There had no corneal flap-related complications, which seriously impact the visual quality after the surgery.<p>CONCLUSION: Carefully postoperative examination at the first-time is an effective way to manage some complications of post-LASIK.
