The incidence of flap complications has been estimated to be 0.244%.[16] Flap complications (such as displaced flaps or folds in the flaps that necessitate repositioning, diffuse lamellar keratitis, and epithelial ingrowth) are common in lamellar corneal surgeries[17] but rarely lead to permanent visual acuity loss; the incidence of these microkeratome-related complications decreases with increased physician experience.[18][19] This risk is further reduced by the use of IntraLasik and other non-microkeratome related approaches.
A slipped flap (a corneal flap that detaches from the rest of the cornea) is one of the most common complications. The chances of this are greatest immediately after surgery, so patients typically are advised to go home and sleep to let the flap heal. A faster operation may decrease the chance of this complication, as there is less time for the flap to dry.
Flap interface particles are another finding whose clinical significance is undetermined.[20] A Finnish study found that particles of various sizes and reflectivity were clinically visible in 38.7% of eyes examined via slit lamp biomicroscopy, but apparent in 100% of eyes using confocal microscopy.[20]
