Preoperative evidence can include manifest and, when appropriate, cycloplegic refraction, visual-acuity measurements, corneal topography or tomography, corneal-thickness measurements, ocular-surface findings, prior prescriptions, and the surgeon's candidacy assessment. Together, these records can show what information was available when the decision to proceed with LASIK was made.
Corneal topography maps the curvature of the corneal surface, while tomography can provide additional information about corneal shape, elevation, and thickness distribution. Pachymetry measures corneal thickness. These measurements can be significant when a dispute involves patient selection, treatment planning, the amount of corneal tissue altered, or later concerns about corneal stability.
The relevant record may include changes in visual acuity and refraction, flap findings, ocular-surface symptoms, repeat corneal imaging, enhancement evaluations, and treatment after the original procedure. A suitably qualified expert may place those findings in chronological context and evaluate how they relate to the issues alleged in the case.
LASIK or refractive-surgery expertise focuses on refractive-surgery screening, planning, procedural issues, and postoperative management. Ophthalmology covers eye disease and medical and surgical eye care more broadly. Optometry includes refraction, vision assessment, primary eye care, and other services within the practitioner's qualifications and applicable scope of practice. The disputed issue determines which discipline or combination of disciplines is appropriate.
