Evaluating the Ectasia Risk Score System in Cancelled Laser In Situ Keratomileusis Candidates.

Objective: To evaluate the ectasia risk score system in cancelled laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) candidates at an academic hospital.

Methods: LASIK candidates who had been cancelled by a surgeon considering the patient age, preoperative central corneal thickness, residual stromal bed thickness, or preoperative manifest refraction spherical equivalent were retrospectively reviewed, and their Randleman ectasia risk score system score was calculated.

Results: The mean ectasia score of 194 eyes (97 patients) was 4.5
